Respuesta :

Answer: 35.49

Explanation:

The projected sales will be:

= $76,000 × $36

= $2,736,000

The desired return on the investment will be calculated as the Investment multiplied by the desired return rate. This will be:

= $240,000 × 16%

= $240,000 × 0.16

=$38,400

The total target cost will now be:

= $2,736,000 - $38,400

= $2,697,600

The The target cost per crepe maker is closest to:

= $2,697,600/$76,000

= 35.49
