    Materials per package RM100
    Direct labour per hour RM30
    Manufacturing overhead per package RM30
    Administrative and distribution expenses RM25
    Each package takes about 10 minutes to complete packing. The Management Accountant
    estimates that 40% of the manufacturing overheads and administrative and distribution
    expenses are variable. The company expects a profit margin of 22%.
    Required:
    Calculate the price of each package using variable cost-plus method.

    Ans: 162.82

    But i get 30×40%=12
    25×40%=10

    100+30+12+10=152

    How to get 162.82???

    This (as you have typed it) has nothing to do with target costing.

    Materials $100
    Labour 10/60 x $30 = $5
    Manufacturing overheads 40% x $30 = $12
    Admin. 40% x $25 = $10

    Total: $127.00
    Selling price = 100/78 x $127.00 = $162.82
