Answer:
Target cost per unit = $3.52
Explanation:
Given:
Projected sales = $300,000 or 75,000 units
Desired profit = $36,000
Find:
Target cost per unit
Computation:
Target cost per unit = [Projected sales - Desired profit] / Total units
Target cost per unit = [$300,000 - $36,000] / 75,000
Target cost per unit = $264,000 / 75,000
Target cost per unit = $3.52
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section. 
Explanation:
If the wages of the Hispanics construction worker in America are less then, they will not have near as much money to send home to their relatives back in Mexico. 
And if their families do not have as much as it use to be then they will not be able to buy near as much as they used to.
It means that if the construction workers don't get as much money as they used to then, neither they nor their families  will be able to spend as much as they use to which will obviously hurt each of their economies.
