Direct labor 25 Selling and admin. exp. 140,000
Factory overhead 40
Selling and administrative expenses 25
Total $240
Smart Stream desires a profit equal to a 30% rate of return on invested assets of $1,200,000.

a) desired return 360,000

b) manufacturing cost $245

c) 27% in dollar:

d) sales price $311

Explanation:

desired return: 1,200,000 x 30% = 360,000

Then, fixed cost: 350,000

Variable cost: 150 materials + 25 labor + 40 overhead + 25 S&A  = 240 variable

Sales Price = X

We need to solve for the sales price at which the company gain 360,000 dollar:

volume  x (sales - variable) -    fixed    = profit

10,000   x    (sales - 240)    - 350,000 = 360,000

sales = (360,000 + 350,000) / 10,000 + 240

sales =  311

manufacturing cost:

350,000 / 10,000 = 35 fixed overhead

150 material + 25 labor + 40 variable MO + 35 fixed MO= 245

311 / 245 - 1 = 0,2693877 = 27%
