Required:
a) Compute the total variable cost per unit, total fixed cost per unit, and total cost per unit for M14–M16.
b) Compute the desired ROI per unit for M14–M16. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

Answer:

Total Variable Costs  per unit $ 90

Total Fixed Cost per unit $ 30.375

Total Unit Costs= $ 120.375

The investor will receive a benefit of $ 1.13 per unit .

Explanation:

National Corporation

M14–M16

                                                 Per Unit                  Total

Direct materials                            $23                    1840,000

Direct labor                                   $45                  3600,000  

Variable manufacturing overhead $12                960,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead                          $1,296,000

Variable selling & Admin.  expenses $ 10           800,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses         $ 1,134,000

Total Variable Costs  per unit $ 90

Direct materials $23

Direct labor $45

Variable manufacturing overhead $12

Variable selling & Admin.  expenses $ 10

Total Fixed Cost per unit $ 30.375

Fixed manufacturing overhead   =$1,296,000/ 80,000=  $ 16.2

Fixed selling and administrative expenses  = $ 1,134,000 / 80,000 = $ 14.175

Total Unit Costs= Total Variable Costs  per unit + Total Fixed Cost per unit

                         =$ 90 + $ 30.375= $ 120.375

Return on investment measures the benefit an investor will receive in relation to their investment cost.

Desired ROI per unit + Fixed Cost= Mark Up  Percentage * Variable Cost Per Unit

Putting values in the above

Desired ROI per unit +  $ 30.375= 35 % * $ 90

Desired ROI per unit = 31.5- 30.375

Desired ROI per unit = $ 1.125= $ 1.13

The investor will receive a benefit of $ 1.13 per unit .

George Wynn is a salesperson for EGC whose primary responsibility is to contact engineers in charge of constructing commercial buildings. One such engineer is Don Snyder, who is in charge of building the new Texas A&M College of Business Administration facility. Don’s Houston-based engineering firm purchased three new EGI portable generators for this project. George learned that Don’s company will build four more buildings on the Texas A&M campus, and he felt that Don might buy more machines. Salesperson: Don, I understand you have three of our new model electric generators. Buyer: Yeah, you’re not kidding. Salesperson: I’m sure you’ll need additional units on these new jobs. Buyer: Yeah, we sure will. Salesperson: I’ve gone over the building’s proposed floor plans and put together the type of products you need. Buyer: They buy down in Houston; you need to see them! Salesperson: I was just in there yesterday, and they said it was up to you. Buyer: Well, I’m busy today. Salesperson: Can I see you tomorrow?
