    The selling price per unit is $35

    Explanation:

    In computing the selling price for each of the expected units produced and sold each year of 14,000 units, the total production cost is added to the administrative expenses as well as the return on investment i. e 12% of $750,000.

    Product cost ($25*14000) $350,000

    selling and administrative expenses $50,000

    Total cost $400,000

    return on investment (12%*$750,000) $90,000

    Total sales value $490,000

    selling price per unit=sales value/units sold=$490,000/14000=$35

    The established selling price per unit is $35
