Answer:

$0.40

Explanation:

Total Cost of Goods Sold = Sales revenue - Desired profit

Total Cost of Goods Sold = ($2*50,000) - $70,000

Total Cost of Goods Sold = $100,000 - $70,000

Total Cost of Goods Sold = $30,000

Target cost per bottle = Total cost of goods sold / Units sold

Target cost per bottle = $20,000/50,000

Target cost per bottle = $0.40

So, the target cost per bottle will be $0.40
