how important is target costing for p5 exam?
December 3, 2013 at 9:10 pm #149971i was just thinking the exact same thing.
All’s i know is that you work backwards – find out how much customers are willing to pay then deduct the required profit
this then gives you a target cost.How are you finding P5?

Is there any past question for target costing?
