EXAMPLE
ITT Automotive receives invitation from ford to bid on the ABS to be used in a new model car Estimated current manufacturing cost = $154 Gross margin rate = 30% on sales Highly competitive market Sale price = $200 per unit
COST-PLUS PRICING
Let x be the price 70% of price = actual cost 70x/100 = 154 X = $220 Rejection of bid
TARGET COSTING
As 70% of price = actual cost Sale price = $200 Target cost = 70% of 200 = $140 Required cost reduction = $154-$140 = $14 If commitment for cost reduction, company can bid at $200
