Dear Mr Moffat

I was doing the practice questions but I came across a for which I don t understand the answer provided. Could you please help.

Question (Target costing)

The selling price of product has been set at $300,00 per unit and at that price the company expect to sell 1000 units per year.
The company requires a return of 20% pa on investment of $1,250,000 in the product.
What is the target cost per unit?

The correct answer is $250.

Should $250 be the return on investment? 1,250,000*20%/1000?
My answer was $50 (300-250)

Could you please help?

Thanks

Gabriella

You are correct.

The answer does write that the target cost is $50, but the wrong letter has been typed by mistake. I will have it corrected. Sorry.
