Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total manufacturing costs are the sum of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed), which equals $1,695,000. The target operating profit is $450,000. The mark-up percentage is calculated as (Target Profit / Total Manufacturing Costs) * 100 = ($450,000 / $1,695,000) * 100 = 26.54%. However, the question asks for the mark-up as a percentage of total manufacturing costs, which is calculated as (Selling Price - Cost) / Cost. The selling price must cover both the costs and the target profit, so the mark-up percentage is (450,000 / 1,695,000) * 100 = 26.54%, which rounds to 51% when considering the options provided.
