    Hi,
    Please explain how did you calculate the Target Cost (i.e $7.00 per unit) in example 1(a) in chapter 3.

    The selling price is to be $10.50.
    The target mark-up is 50% of cost.

    So if the target cost is X, the profit will be 0.5X and so the selling price will be 1.5X.

    If 1.5X = 10.50, then X = $7
