Target Costing
• In contrast, since the early 1970s, a
technique called target costing has been
used by some companies (especially
Japanese ones) to view the costing process
differently
Target Costing
• Target costing develops an “allowable”
product cost by analyzing market research
to estimate what the market will pay for a
product with specific characteristics. This is
expressed in the following formula:
Target Costing – ex.
• A market survey indicates that the
metropolitan area could sustain an annual
500-order volume and that customers
believe $18 is a reasonable fee per service.
The print shop manager believes that a
reasonable profit for this service is $8 per
customer order.
Target Costing – ex.
• ESP = $18 per service
• APM = $8 per customer order.
TC = ESP – APM
TC = $18 - $8
TC = $10
Target Costing – ex.
• The projected sales price for a new product (which
is still in the development stage of the product life
cycle) is $50. The company has estimated the life-
cycle cost to be $30 and the first-year cost to be
$60. On this type of product, the company requires
a $12 per unit profit. What is the target cost of the
new product?
a. $60
b. $30
c. $38
d. $42

• Which of the following formulas is the best
representation of the concept of target costing?
a. target cost + profit margin = selling price
b. selling price - target cost = profit margin
c. selling price - profit margin = target cost
d. target cost - standard cost = profit margin

Value Engineering
• Value engineering is an important step in
successful product development.
• It involves a disciplined search for various
feasible combinations of resources and
methods that will increase product
functionality and reduce costs

Kaizen Costing
• Kaizen costing involves ongoing efforts for
continuous improvement to reduce product costs,
increase product quality, and/or improve the
production process after manufacturing activities
have begun.
• These cost reductions are designed to keep the
profit margin relatively stable as the product price
is reduced over the product life cycle.
