    Q) The selling price of a product has been set at $600 per unit,and at that price company the company expects to sell 5,000 units per month. The required mark-up is 20% of cost, and the expected production cost is $520 per unit. What is the target cost gap?

    Please provide me the solution at your earliest convenience.

    The target cost is 100/120 x 600 = 500.

    Therefore the cost gap is 520 – 500 = 20.

    The free lecture on target costing explains how to deal with mark-ups.
