Based on the cost-plus pricing method, the price is calculated as follows:
Total cost = 640 + 250 + 120 + 80 = 1090
Markup = 20% of total cost = 0.2 * 1090 = 218
Price = Total cost + Markup = 1090 + 218 = $1,308
However, the question asks for the price of 4 units, so we need to divide the total price by 4.
Price per unit = 1308/4 = $327
Therefore, the company must charge $327 per unit.
But the options provided are not in this range. So, we need to check which option is the closest. Option D is the closest with a price of $1,192 for 4 units, which comes to $298 per unit. Hence, the answer is D) $1,192.
