a.
Markup percentage on absorption cost = [(Required ROI × Investment)+ Selling and administrative expenses] ÷ (Unit product cost × Unit sales)
= [(15% × $160,000)+ ($4.10 × 37,000 + $691,900)] ÷ (37,000 × $57.80)
= [($24,000)+ ($843,600)] ÷ $2,138,600 = 40.57%
b.Absorption cost based selling price = (1 + Markup percentage on absorption cost)× Unit product cost
= (1 + 0.4057)× $57.80 = $81.25
