Question:
Palms, Inc., sells one of its products for $80 each. Sales volume averages 2,000 units per year. Recently, its main competitor reduced the price
of its product to $56. Palms expects its sales to drop dramatically unless it matches the competitor's price. In addition, the current profit per unit
must be maintained.
Information about the product (for production of 2,000) is as follows:
- Calculate the target cost for maintaining current market share and profitability
- Calculate the non-value-added cost per unit.
- If non-value-added costs can be reduced to zero, can the target cost be achieved?
