Question

Determinant Company is a price − taker and uses a target − pricing approach. Refer to the following information: Production volume 600,000 units per year Market price $34 per unit Desired operating income 15% of total assets Total assets $13,900,000 What is the target full product cost in total for the year? Assume all units produced are sold.

Answer 1

Answer:

$18,315,000

Explanation:

Total Income :

= 15% of Total assets

= $13,900,000 × 15%

= $2,085,000

Total Sales :

= Market price × Production volume

= $34 × 600,000

= $20,400,000

So, Target full product cost in total for the year :

=  Total Sales - Total Income

= $20,400,000 - $2,085,000

= $18,315,000
