Blossom makes swimsuits and sells them directly to retailers. Although Blossom has a variety of suits, it does not make the all-body suit used by highly skilled swimmers. The market research department believes that a strong market exists for this type of suit. It says the all- body suit would sell for approximately $118. Given its experience, Blossom believes the all- body suit would have the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials Direct labour Manufacturing overhead Total costs (a1) $26 30 48 $104 Assume that Blossom uses cost-plus pricing, and sets the price 25% above the product's costs. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) What would be the price charged for the all-body swimsuit?
