    Dear Sir, I need help with this:-

    I tried and got the wrong answer. After looking at the BPP answer I could not understand the workings

    H Co uses marginal cost plus pricing to determine selling price of Product X

    Direct Material = $12
    Direct Labour = $5
    Variable Overheads = $3
    Fixed OH = $40

    Fixed OH are $20,000 per year. Budgeted output and sales for the year are 500 units and this should be sufficient to break-even.

    What profit mark-up to add to marginal cost to allow H Co to break even?

    Appreciate your help sir 🙂

    For breakeven the contribution needs to be 20,000/500 = $40 per unit.

    The marginal cost is $20 per unit.

    Therefore the mark-up has to be 40/20 = 200%
