Expert Solution
Step 1

(a) The selling price is equal to sum of cost and markup. 

To find the value of markup percentage, use the formula as follows:

Markup = Profit (P)+Overhead(O)=12+23=35 %

The markup cost is equal to cost times markup percentage, 

Markup cost = Cost × Markup Percentage=29.25×35%=$10.24
