Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "0.4".

Explanation:

[tex]\\\to \text{Total Cost of Goods Sold = Sales revenue - Desired profit}[/tex]

                                              [tex]= (2\times 50,000) - 80,000\\\\= 1,00,000 - 80,000\\\\= 20,000[/tex]

Calculating the target cost per bottle:

[tex]= \frac{\text{Total cost of goods sold}}{ \text{units sold}}\\\\= \frac{20,000}{50,000}\\\\= \frac{2}{5}\\\\= 0.4[/tex]
