    Hello Everyone it is too simple LOOK!
    D.M=3000
    D.L=4000
    =7000 PRIME COST
    PRODUCTION OVERHEADS ARE 0.50% OF PRIME COST SO DO
    7000*0.50=3500
    3500
    7000
    =10500 PRODUCTION COST
    NON-MANUFACTURING COST IS 0.25% OF TOTAL COST SO DO
    10500*0.25=2625
    2625+10500=13123
    THIS {13123} IS COST
    SO PROFIT IS 0.30% OF COST NOW
    13123*0.30/130={{{{{{{{3028}}}}}}}}

    The previous post is incorrect:

    Prime cost = 3000 + 4000 = 7000
    Add 50%, so 7000 x 1.5 = 10,500
    Add 25%, 20 10,500 x.1.25 = 13125.

    Current profits: 30% profit margin ie profits are 30% of sales, so the ratios are:

    Cost + Profit = Selling price
    70 30 100

    13125

    So profit is 13125 x 30/70 = 5,625

    Under the 30% mark-up (ie profit is 30% of cost) the ratios are:

    Cost + Profit = Selling price
    100 30 130

    Profit would be 13,125 x 30% = 3,937.5

    Profits would decrease by 5,625 – 3,937.5 = 1,687.5

    Model answer is incorrect.
