Rios co. makes drones and uses the variable cost approach in setting product prices. its costs for producing 30,000 units follow. the company targets a profit of $310,000 on this product. variable costs per unit fixed costs direct materials direct labor overhead selling $70overhead 40 25 15 selling administrative $670,000 305,000 285,000 1. compute the variable cost per unit 2. compute the markup percentage on variable cost. 3. compute the product's selling price using the variable cost method 1 variable cost per unit 2 markup percentage 3 selling price

1. Variable cost per unit   = $150

2. Markup percentage     = 34.89%

3. Selling price                 = $202.33

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit = 70+40+25+15= $150

Fixed cost   =  670,000+ 305,000 +285,000= $1,260,000

Fixed cost per unit  =    1,260,000/30,000= $42

Profit per unit   =        Targeted profit

                               Targeted production unit

                          = $310,000   =$10.33

                                30,000

Markup percenge =     Fixed cost per unit + profit per unit

                                          Variable cost per unit

                                =$42+ $10.33    =    52.33 * 100   = 34.89%

                                       $150                   $150      1

Selling Price        =  Variable cost per unit + markup

                            =  $150+$42+$10.33

                             = $202.33

Variable cost-plus pricing is calculated by  determining variable costs per unit and adding mark-up which will cover fixed costs per unit and generate a targeted profit margin.

The variable cost per unit is 150, The mark up percentage on variable cost is 5%, The selling price is $192

Explanation:

To calculate variable cost per unit

= (40 + 25 + 15 + 70)

= 150

To calculate fixed cost per unit

(670,000 + 305,000 + 285,000)

=1,260,000

Fixed cost per unit

= Total Fixed cost ÷ Total unit produced

= 1,260,000 ÷ 30,000

= 42

To compute the total variable cost

=Total Variable cost = Total quantity of output × variable cost per unit of output

= 30,000 × 150

= 4,500,000

Total Cost

= TFC + TVC

= 1,260, 000 + 4,500,000

= 5,760,000

To compute the mark up percentage on variable cost

= profit/ cost price ×100

= 310,000/ 5,760,000 × 100

= 0.05 × 100

= 5%

To compute the product selling price using the variable cost method

= variable cost per unit + Fixed cost per unit

= 150 + 42

= 192

Therefore the selling price is $192 in order to cover the fixed cost.

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.
