Target profit 25% on cost
Current cost $12.60 per unit

Target Cost gap
doesnt matter its the margin mark up thing isnt it
i kept doing 15.00/100 - when it should be 15.00/125
4y ago#2Yes, it is because the target profit is 25% of the cost and therefore the cost must be 100/125 x $15 = $12. (and, of course, it checks because the profit is 15 - 12 = $3, and this is 25% x $12 :-) )
