Computation of Total Cost per Session:
| Per Session | |
| Direct Materials | 20 |
| Direct Labor | 410 |
| Variable Overhead | 50 |
| Variable Selling and Administrative Expenses | 35 |
| Fixed Overhead (988,000/1,040) | 950 |
| Fixed Selling and Administrative Expenses (514,800/1,040) | 495 |

Total Cost Per Session |
$1,960 |
Computation of Desired ROI Per Session:
Desired ROI Per Session = (Investment Amount*ROI Percentage)/Number of Sessions
= (2,344,160*20%)/1,040
Desired ROI Per Session = $450.80
Computation of Mark-Up Percentage on Total Cost Per Session:
Mark-Up Percentage on Total Cost Per Session = Desired ROI Per Session/Total Cost Per Session*100
= 450.80/1,960*100
Mark-Up Percentage on Total Cost Per Session = 23%
Computation of Target Price Per Session:
Target Price Per Session = Total Cost Per Session + Total Cost Per Session*Mark-Up Percentage on Total Cost Per Session
= 1,960 + 1,960*23%
Target Price Per Session = $2,410.80
