Rachel Cooke · Answer 1

= $8.80

Explanation:

Under the Mark-up pricing system, the price of a product is determined by adding a desired percentage of the the cost (called mark-up) to the full cost of the product.

Selling price = The full cost of the product + mark - up

The full cost of a product = Variable cost + fixed cost

Remember that fixed cost do not varying within activity range

Selling price = ($2.80 + $ 5.50) + 0.50 = $8.8

Sales price to be charged = $8.8

Total sales value = $8.8 * 42,000

= $369,600. (though this is not part of the requirement)
