Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
target costing
the main question was what is the minimum production required to close the target cost gap?
5y ago#2The target cost is 100/125 x $120 = $96
The variable costs are $46 and therefore the fixed costs need to be absorbed at $50 per unit.
Since total fixed costs are $60,000, for the absorption rate to be $50 per unit they need to produce $60,000/50 = 12,000 units.
