Wilderness Products, Inc., has designed a self-inflating sleeping pad for use by backpackers and campers. The following information is available about the new product: a. An investment of $1,000,000 will be necessary to carry inventories and accounts receivable and to purchase some new equipment needed in the manufacturing process. The company's required rate of return is 10% on all investments b. A standard cost card has been prepared for the sleeping pad, as shown below: Standard Quantity or Hours Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead (20% variable) Total standard cost per pad Standard Price or Rate $ 2.00 per yarod $6.00 per hour $10.00 per hour Standard Cost 10.00 18.00 30.00 $ 58.00 5 yards 3 hours 3 hours c. The only variable selling and administrative expense will be a sales commission of $6 per pad. The fixed selling and administrative expenses will be $882,600 per year. d.

Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to products on the basis of direct labor-hours Required: 1. Assume that the company uses the absorption approach to cost-plus pricing a. Compute the markup percentage that the company needs on the pads to achieve a 10% return on investment (ROI) if it sells all of the pads it can produce b. What selling price per sleeping pad will the company establish if it uses a markup percentage on absorption cost? (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Assume that the company is able to sell all of the pads that it can produce. Compute the company's ROl based on the first year of activity 2.
