Question - Target Costing

MaxiDrive manufactures a wide variety of parts for recreational boating, including a gear and driveshaft part for high-powered outboard boat engines. Original equipment manufacturers such as Mercury and Honda purchase the components for use in large, powerful outboards. The part sells for $610, and sales volume averages 25,000 units per year.

Recently, MaxiDrive's major competitor reduced the price of its equivalent unit to $550. The market is very competitive, and Maxi-Drive realizes it must meet the new price or lose significant market share.
