Target Costing
The price of a good or service is affected by many factors.
• Company must have a good understanding of market
forces.
• Where products are not easily differentiated from
competitor goods, prices are not set by the company, but
rather by the laws of supply and demand – such
companies are called price takers.
• Where products are unique or clearly distinguishable
from competitor goods, prices are set by the company.

Target Costing
Establishing a Target Cost
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2
Cost-Plus Pricing
• In an environment with little or no competition, a company
may have to set its own price.
• When a company sets price, the price is normally a function
of product cost: cost-plus pricing.
• Approach requires establishing a cost base and adding a
markup to determine a target selling price.

Cost-Plus Pricing
Relation of markup to cost and selling price
Selling Price − Cost = Markup (Profit)
• In determining the proper markup, a company must
consider competitive and market conditions.
• Size of the markup (the “plus”) depends on the desired
return on investment for the product:
ROI = net income ÷ invested assets
Cost + Markup = Target Selling Price
Per Unit
Direct materials $23
Direct labor 17
Variable manufacturing overhead 12
Variable selling and administrative expenses 8
Variable cost per unit $60
At 5,000 units, how much would Thinkmore mark up its total unit costs to
earn a desired ROI of $80 per unit.
$80 (desired ROI per unit)
42.11%

Cost-Plus Pricing
Question
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3
Use time-and-material pricing to determine the cost of
services provided.
Time-and-material pricing an approach in which the company uses two
pricing rates:
• One for labor used on a job - includes direct labor time and other
employee costs.
• One for material - includes cost of direct parts and materials and a
material loading charge for overhead.

Time-and-Material Pricing
Total annual budgeted time and material costs
Illustration: Assume the following data for Lake Holiday
Marina, a boat and motor repair shop.
Job: Repair TV
Labor charges: 4 hours @ $32.50 $130
Material charges
Cost of parts and materials $50
Material loading charge (40% × $50) 20 70
Total price of labor and material $ 200
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 4
Determine a transfer price using the negotiated, cost-
based, and market-based approaches.
Vertically integrated companies
• Grow in either direction of its suppliers or its customers.
• Frequently transfer goods to other divisions as well as
outside customers.

The most Boot Division (the buyer) will pay is what the
sole would cost from an outside supplier.

Negotiated Transfer Prices
Transfer pricing negotiations - excess capacity
In this case, the Boot Division and the Sole Division should
negotiate a transfer price within the range of $11 to $17.
