C. What is the target cost of the company's product?
D. If the company cannot cut costs any lower than they already are, what would the profit margin on sales be to meet the market selling price?

Respuesta :

Market selling price = $48 per unit

Cost price = $44

Profit = 48 - 44 = $4

Profit margin = profit/selling price x 100 4/48 x 100 = 8.333%

To obtain a 12.5% profit margin the costs would have to be cut to $42 or the selling price would have to rise to $50.29

Profit margin = profit/selling price

= (selling price - cost price)/(selling price)

12.5% = 6 / 48

= 48 - 42 / 48

= 0.125 12.5% =

6.29 / 50.29 = 50.29 - 44 / 50.29 = 0.12507
