The Sloan Corporation must invest $232,000 to produce and market
12,000 units of Product X each year. The company uses the
absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing described in the
text to set prices for its products. Other cost information
regarding Product X is as follows:

Fixed manufacturing overhead | $ | 63,600 | |||||
Variable selling and administrative expenses | $ | 3.30 | |||||
Fixed selling and administrative expenses | $ | 57,600 | |||||
