The price Galla should charge is $75

Explanation:

Solution

Now

The total cost = variable product cost + variable administrative cost + fixed overhead + fixed administrative

= ($23 * 6,420) + ($25 * 6,420) + $46,500 + $30,540

= $147,660 + $160,500 + $46,500 + $30,540

= $385,200

Thus,

The total cost per unit = Total cost / units

= $385,200 / 6,420 units

= $60

Hence

The selling price should charge = Cost per unit * 1.25

= $60 * 1.25

= $75
