    Units?….
    Where is the question from?

    Because
    Target cost = Target sales price – Target profit
    Then the estimated costs of a product design can be compared with target cost. If the expected cost is higher than target cost then there is a ‘Cost Gap’.

    It is the difference between what an organisation thinks it can currently make a product for, and what it needs to make it for, in order to make a required profit.
