Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the price using target costing, calculate the cost and then add the required profit margin. If the cost is $57, and the company requires a 40% profit, the price would be $57 / (1 - 0.40) = $95. However, since the options provided do not match this calculation, we assume the cost is $34.20 (since $57 is the only option that fits the 40% profit margin requirement when calculated backward).
