    Price = $267,12

    Explanation:

    In base of the following information, we need to calculate the price of 100 units:

    - Q=100

    - The number of hours required to produce a unit is 8. The average labor rate is $17 per hour.

    - The materials cost $14 per unit.

    - Overhead for an additional 100 units is estimated at 30% of the direct labor cost.

    Total direct labor = (8hs*$17) * 100 = $13600

    Total direct material = $14*100 = $1400

    Manufactured overhead = (0,30*13600) = $4080

    Total cost = 13600 + 1400 + 4080 = $19080

    Cost of unit = 19080/100 = $190,8

    Profit = 40%

    Price = $190,8*1,40 = $267,12
