Basic Motor Corporation uses target costing. Assume that Basic marketing personnel estimate that the competitive selling price for the QuikCar in the upcoming model year will need to be $24,700. Assume further that the QuikCar's total unit cost for the upcoming model year is estimated to be $19,000 and that Basic requires a 20% profit margin on selling price (which is equivalent to a 25% markup on total cost).
a. What price will Basic establish for the QuikCar for the upcoming model year?
i tried the following and it was wrong:
unit cost for car: $19000
ADD: Desired Profit= 19,000 *20%= 3800
Total Selling Price= $19,000+ 3800= $23,750
