Answer 1

Answer:

$336.00

Explanation:

Calculation for the target cost per unit

First step is to calculate the The target sales revenues

The target sales revenues =($480 × 280)

The target sales revenues = $134,400

Second step is to calculate the The target operating income

The target operating income=($134,400 × 30%)

The target operating income = $40,320

Third step is to calculate the The target cost

The target cost=($134,400 –$40,320)

The target cost = $94,080

Now let calculate the The target cost per unit

The target cost per unit = $94,080 / 280

The target cost per unit= $336.00

Therefore The target cost per unit is $336.00
