Exercise A-2 Absorption Costing Approach to Setting a Selling Price [LOA-2]
Martin Company is considering the introduction of a new product. To determine a selling price, the company has gathered the following information:
Number of units to be produced and sold each year
Unit product cost
Projected annual selling and administrative expenses
Estimated investment required by the company
Desired return on investment (ROI)
12,500

60,000
$ 530,000
20%
The company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing.
Required:
1. Compute the markup required to achieve the desired ROI. ((Round your final answer to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)
Markup percentage
2. Compute the selling price per unit. (Round your intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Problem A-4 The Economists’ Approach to Pricing [LOA-1]
The postal service of St. Vincent, an island in the West Indies, obtains a significant portion of its revenues from sales of special souvenir sheets to stamp collectors. The souvenir sheets usually contain several high-value St. Vincent stamps depicting a common theme, such as the life of Princess Diana. The souvenir sheets are designed
and printed for the postal service by Imperial Printing, a stamp agency service company in the United Kingdom. The souvenir sheets cost the postal service $1.50 each. St. Vincent has been selling these souvenir sheets for $9.00 each and ordinarily sells about 67,000 units. To test the market, the postal service recently priced a new
souvenir sheet at $10.00 and sales dropped to 57,000 units.
Required:
1a. Calculate the contribution margin for sale price of $9.00 each or $10.00 each?

2. Estimate the price elasticity of demand for the souvenir sheets. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

3. Estimate the profit-
maximizing price for souvenir sheets. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Problem B-5 Volume Trade-Off Decision, Managing the Constraint [LOB-2, LOB-3]
Sammamish Brick, Inc., manufactures bricks using clay deposits on the company’s property. Raw clays are blended and then extruded into molds to form unfired bricks. The unfired bricks are then stacked onto movable metal platforms and rolled into the kiln where they are fired until dry. The dried bricks are then packaged and shipped to retail outlets and contractors. The bottleneck in the production process is the kiln, which is available for 2,575 hours per year.
Data concerning the company’s four main products appear below. Products are sold by the pallet.
