Required
a. Compute the cost per unit for each product.
b. The current market price for products comparable to Model ZM is $146 and for DS is $54. If
Marsh sold all of its products at the market prices, what was its profit or loss for the previous month?
c. A market expert believes that Marsh can sell as many cameras as it can produce by pricing Model ZM at $140 and Model DS at $50. Marsh would like to use those estimates as its target prices and have a profit margin of 20 percent of target prices. What is the target cost for each product?
d. Is there any way for the company to reach its target cost
