Answer:

The calculations are shown below.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The price charged per unit is

= Variable cost per unit + Contribution margin per unit

where,

Variable cost per unit is $4.56

And, the contribution margin per unit is      

Contribution margin per unit = Fixed cost ÷ Break even units  

$349,600 ÷ 115000

= $3.04 per unit

So, the price charged is  

= $4.56 + $3.04

= $7.60 per unit  

b. The variable cost per unit is

= Selling price per unit - contribution margin per unit

where,

Selling price per unit = $120  

And, the Contribution margin per unit is

= ($458,000 + $166,000) ÷ 15,600 units

= $40 per unit  

So, the variable cost per unit is

= $120 - $40

= $80 per unit

And, the contribution margin ratio is  

= Contribution margin per unit ÷ Selling price per unit  

= $40 ÷ $120 × 100

= 33.33%  

c. The total fixed cost is

= Contribution - Net income  

= $235,000 × 0.25 - $22,500

= $58,750 - $22,500    

= $36,250  

d. Contribution margin per unit is

= $103,840 ÷ 23,600 units

= $4.40 per unit

And,  Selling price per unit is

= $4.40 ÷ 44%

= $10 per unit  

And, Variable cost per unit is

= $10 × 56%

= $5.60 per unit  

Since the variable cost ratio is 0.56

So, we assume the sales is 0.100

And, the contribution margin ratio is 0.44
