During 2014, Welch Manufacturing Company incurred $86,000,000 in research and development (R&D) costs to create a long-life battery to use in computers. In accordance with FASB standards, the entire R&D cost was recognized as an expense in 2014. Manufacturing costs (direct materials, direct labor, and overhead) are expected to be $263 per unit. Packaging, shipping, and sales commissions are expected to be $55 per unit. Welch expects to sell 2,000,000 batteries before new research renders the battery design technologically obsolete. In 2014, Welch made 446,000 batteries and sold 405,000 of them.

Determine the sales price assuming that Welch desires to earn a profit margin that is equal to 20 percent of the total cost of developing, making, and distributing the batteries. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
