Answer:

Mark-up = 26.83%

Explanation:

Mark-up is the proportion of cost that unit cost that must be achieved as profit.

Return on Investment is the proportion investment that is earned as operating income.

Operating income = ROI × investment = 20%× 540,000=108,000

Profit per unit = total operating income /Number of units

=$108,000/11,500 units

=$9.391 per unit

Mark-up = (Profit per unit ÷unit cost)× 100

Mark- up = $9.391 /35 × 100 =26.83

Mark-up = 26.83%
