hello, With respect to Life cycle costing in chapter 3. Please i need you to explain how you arrived at the $7 target cost as it’s completely unclear to me. Thank you
The selling price is $10.50, and the company wishes to achieve a mark-up of 50% on cost. So….if the cost is x, then the mark-up is 0.5x and the selling price is 1.5x. Since 1.5x = 10.50, x = 10.50/1.5 = $7. (Have you watched the lecture on this chapter?)
