The cost of the raw materials required to produce the log-splitting machines amounts to $95 per unit. If company management desires a return equal to 10 percent of the final selling price, what is the target conversion and administrative cost per unit? Round answer to the nearest cent.

Answer:S 610

Explanation:

To get a return of 10% of sales price is to have a profit of S85 which is 10% of S850.

Handling cost per unit S6000/6000 unit=S1

Other handling cost per unit S59

Raw materials per unit=S95

Target conversations and administrative cost is

850-X-60-95=85

850-X-155=85

-X=85+155-850

-X=-610

X=610
