The following are the cost break-up for the current estimated cost level
Material Cost: $45 (the company may use material of ‘P’ quality which will cost $30, the same material is being utilized by other competitors in the market)
Salaries Cost: $25
Overheads: $20 (of which $5 are to enhance the product design to make it superior than the product offered by the competitor)
Distribution Cost: $20
Packaging Cost: $10

Why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers. They have answers and explanations.
The $20 already includes the $5 to enhance the product design and so this would need subtracting from the cost.
