Life-Cycle Costing

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

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
