Required: 1. Calculate the target cost for maintaining current market share and profitability. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Computation of Target Cost for maintaining current market share and profitability:
Unit cost = $14,355,000 / 27,000
= $531.67
Current profit = Selling price - Unit cost
= $640 - $531.67
= $108.33
Target cost = Competitor's price - Current profit
= $564 - $108.33
= $455.67
