Question 1.7 on the 2015 BBP revision kit,where does the 20% of sales price come from in the answers..what i did was 8.40 – ( 10 – 25%)=0.9 wich is very wrong..thank you
You have taken the target profit as being 25% of selling price. The question says that it is 25% of cost!
So for every 100 cost, the profit will be 25, and therefore the selling price will be 125.
Or, to put it the other way round, for every 125 selling price, the cost will be 100.
So for a selling price of $10, the cost will be 100/125 x $10 = $8
thank you so much I realized my mistake
You are welcome 🙂
pliz explain the ansa for me……target selling price 20 p.u
target profit margin 30%
estimated production cost 16 p.u
what is the cost gap?
Target SP = 20
Target profit margin (30%x20) = 6
Target Cost (20-6) = 14
Estimated Cost = 16
Cost Gap (16-14) = 2
(to be more clear please watch the video lecture)
thank you
