Question:
A. Determine the selling price of each computer over the past year.
B. Innovative Computers Pty Ltd wants to increase sales by 25% in the next year. Management is not sure whether to increase the price by up to 25%, keep the price the same, or even reduce the price. Assuming that the policy of a $300 mark-up on cost will continue, decide on a price to recommend to the managers of Innovative Computers Pty Ltd .
Innovative Computers Pty Ltd began manufacturing inexpensive computers for the student market on 1July 2015. The variable costs of manufacturing each computer are as follows:
Direct materials Direct factory labour Variable factory overhead | $120 10 20 |
During the year ended30 June 2016, the following fixed costs were incurred: Factory overhead Administration Marketing | $1200000 84000 120000 |
At the end of the year there was no work in process and 10000 computers had been produced and sold during the year. Inventory was costed at the average cost of production per computer. The computers were priced so that a profit mark-up of $300 over manufacturing costs was obtained from each computer sold.
