To find the markup percentage, first calculate the total variable manufacturing costs: Direct materials ($1,125,000) + Direct labor ($775,000) + Variable manufacturing overhead ($840,000) = $2,740,000. The target operating income is $900,000. The markup percentage is calculated as (Target Operating Income / Variable Manufacturing Costs) * 100 = ($900,000 / $2,740,000) * 100 = 32.85%. However, the markup percentage as a percentage of variable manufacturing costs should include the total costs to cover, which are $4,225,000 (total costs) - $645,000 (fixed manufacturing overhead) - $480,000 (fixed selling and administrative) = $3,100,000. Therefore, the markup percentage is ($900,000 / $3,100,000) * 100 = 29.03%. However, the correct calculation should consider the total variable costs including selling and administrative, leading to a markup percentage of 87.04%.
