The market price is $125 per unit. What is the target cost per unit of the product

Answer 1

Answer:

$68 = unitary variable cost

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Gold Company wants a profit of $100,000

Production= 2,500 units

Selling price= $125

Fixed indirect production costs 27,500

Fixed selling and administrative costs 15,000

To calculate the target total unitary variable cost, we need to use the following formula:

number of units sold= (desired profit + fixed costs) / (selling price - unitary variable cost)

2,500= (100,000 + 27,500 + 15,000) / (125 - unitary variable cost)

312,500 - 2,500unitary variable cost = 142,500

170,000 = 2,500unitary variable cost

$68=unitary variable cost
