Last year the company sold 2,000 of these appliances, realizing a gross profit of 25% of the cost of goods sold. Of this total cost of goods sold, materials accounted for 40% of the total and factory overhead for 15%. During the coming year, it is expected that materials and labor costs will each increase 25% per unit and that factory overhead will increase 12% per unit.
