Question

Concord Company is involved in producing and selling high-end golf equipment. The company has recently been involved in developing various types of laser guns to measure yardages on the golf course. One small laser gun, called LittleLaser, appears to have a very large potential market. Because of competition, Concord does not believe that it can charge more than $100 for LittleLaser. At this price, Concord believes it can sell 106,000 of these laser guns. Concord will require an investment of $8,056,000 to manufacture, and the company wants an ROI of 25%. Determine the target cost for one LittleLaser. Target cost $

Answer 1

Answer:

$8,586,000

Explanation:

market price for Littlelaser $100 per unit

units sold 106,000

total revenue generated by Littlelaser = $100 x 106,000 = $10,600,000

required investment = $8,056,000

since the investors require a return on investment of 25%, then the profits generated by Littlelaser should be:

ROI = net income / total investment

25% x $8,056,00 = net income

net income = $2,014,000

target cost = total revenue - net income = $10,600,000 - $2,014,000 = $8,586,000

total revenue $10,600,000

- total cost $8,596,000    

net income $2,014,000
