    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?)
