Praveen Company manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of
Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding that has not been as profitable as planned. Because Product XT is
manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year's
plans call for a $310 selling price per unit. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $421,600. Variable costs for the
year are expected to be $186 per unit.

- Product pricing using the cost-plus approach methods; differential analysis for accepting additional business Crystal Displays Inc. recently began production of a new product, flat panel displays, which required the investment of 1,500,000 in assets. The costs of producing and selling 5,000 units of flat panel displays are estimated as follows: Crystal Displays Inc. is currently considering establishing a selling price for flat panel displays. The president of Crystal Displays has decided to use the cost-plus approach to product pricing and has indicated that the displays must earn a 15% return on invested assets. Instructions 1. Determine the amount of desired profit from the production and sale of flat panel displays. 2. Assuming that the product cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage, and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays. 3. (Appendix) Assuming that the total cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage (rounded to two decimal places), and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays.

Assume that as of August 1, 3,000 units of flat panel displays have been produced and sold during the current year. Analysis of the domestic market indicates that 2,000 additional units are expected to be sold during the remainder of the year at the normal product price determined under the product cost method. On August 3, Crystal Displays Inc. received an offer from Maple Leaf Visual Inc. for 800 units of flat panel displays at 225 each. Maple Leaf Visual Inc. will market the units in Canada under its own brand name, and no variable selling and administrative expenses associated with the sale will be incurred by Crystal Displays Inc. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic sales of flat panel displays, and the additional units could be produced using existing factory, selling, and administrative capacity.
