Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years. Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00% The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years. Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below: Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price Year 1 40,000 $80.00 Year 2 50,000 $75.00 Year 3 35,000 $50.00 Year 4 25,000 $45.00 What is the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model

Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4

Explanation:

Given that:

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%

The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:

Year                  Sales volume (units)                   Unit selling price

Year 1                       40,000                                 $80.00

Year 2                      50,000                                 $75.00

Year 3                     35,000                                   $50.00

Year 4                      25,000                                  $45.00

The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.

The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:

= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)

For Year 1

=  $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)

= $80.00 - $16.00

= $64.00

For Year 2

= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)

= $75.00 - ( $15.00)

= $60.00

Year 3

= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)

= $50.00 - $10.00

= $40.00

Year 4

= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)

=$45.00 - $9.00

= $36.00

Year       Sales volume    Unit                Cost          Cost per Unit

                (units)             selling price  

Year 1       40,000          $80.00          $64.00       $2560000

Year 2      50,000          $75.00          $60.00       $3000000

Year 3      35,000          $50.00          $40.00        $1400000

Year 4       25,000          $45.00         $36.00        $900000

Total:        150000                                                    $7860000

Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000

Allowable unit cost = 52.4
