Product Pricing: Single Product
Sue Bee Honey is one of the largest processors of its product for
the retail market. Assume that one of its plants has annual fixed
costs totaling $14,400,000, of which $5,400,000 is for
administrative and selling efforts. Sales are anticipated to be
800,000 cases a year. Variable costs for processing are $36 per
case, and variable selling expenses are 25 percent of selling
price. There are no variable administrative expenses.
If the company desires a profit of $9,000,000, what is the selling
price per case? Round answer to two decimal places.
Answer : Selling Price PEr Case = $87.00
Assume Total Sales Revenue = S
Total Sales Revenue = Total Cost + Desired PRofit
Total Sales Revenue = Fixed cost + Variable cost + Variable Selling expenses + Desired Profit
Total Sales Revenue = $14,400,000+ ( $36*800,000)+ ( S*25%) +9,000,000
S= 23,400,000+28,800,000+ 0.25 S
S= 52,200,000+0.25S
S-0.25S = 52,200,000
0.75 S = 52,200,000
S= 52,200,000/ 0.75 = 69,600,000
Total Sales Revenue = $ 69,600,000
Selling Price Per unit = $69 ,600,000/ 800,000 = $87.00 ( Answer)
