Answer 1

A

	upstream
1	Research & Development	124700000/443000 = 281.5 per unit
2	manufacturing cost	$78 per unit
	total per unit	$359.5
	down stream

1	packing,shipping and sales commission	$16
	downstream Total	$374.5

B

Cost of goods sold	395000*78=30810000
ending inventory	443000-395000=48000*78=3744000

C

selling price=83.45

cost of goods sold =30810000=sales*100/100+20

sales=3697200000/100=36972000

selling price= 36972000/443000=83.45

D

SALES	36972000
less Cost of goods sold	30810000
Gross profit	6162000
less operating expenses	16*395000=6320000
net loss	158000
