Explanation of Solution

Cost-plus pricing is one of the pricing strategies for the price of a product or service. Under this pricing method, the cost of the product or service is added with the desired margin to find the selling price of the product or service. The total cost of the product includes direct material cost, direct labor cost, and overhead costs.

A predetermined markup percentage is applied to the cost to calculate the markup amount. The selling price is calculated as the sum of the cost and markup.
