Brorsen, Inc., has just designed a new product with a target cost of $64. Brorsen requires new product to have a profit of 20%. What is the target price for the new product

Answer 1

$80

Step-by-step explanation:

Brosen incorporation has just designed a new product.

The target cost of the new product is $64

Let y represent the target price

Broken requires the new product to have a profit of 20%

= 20/100 × y

= 0.2×y

= 0.2y

Therefore, the target price can be calculated as follows

Target cost+ Target profit= Target price

64 + 0.2y= y

64= y-0.2y

64= 0.8y

y= 64/0.8

y= 80

Hence the target price for the new product is $80
