Answer:

Instructions are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

The current market price of cloth shopping bags is ​$2.25

Target profit= 60%

First, we need to calculate the cost per unit to reach the target cost.

Target cost= selling price*(1-targert profit)

Target cost= 2.25*0.4= $0.9

Now, if $0.8 is the unitary total cost:

Cost= (0.8*100)/2.25= 35.5%

Profit= 100 - 35.5= 64.5%

The company should manufacture the product because it reaches the target profit per unit.
