Peacock, Inc. sells 2,100 kayaks per year at a sales price of $500 per unit. It sells in a highly competitive market and uses target pricing. The company has calculated its target full product cost at $820,000 per year. Fixed costs are $340,000 per year and cannot be reduced. What is the target variable cost per unit assuming units sold are equal to units produced?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The target variable cost per unit assuming units sold are equal to units produced is $228.571

Explanation:

The formula to compute the target variable cost per unit is shown below:

= Target variable cost ÷ number of kayaks sold

where,

Target variable cost = Target full product cost - Fixed costs

                                 = $820,000 - $340,000

                                 = $480,000

And, the  number of kayaks sold is 2,100

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the per unit would equal to

= $480,000 ÷ 2,100

= $228.571
