Explanation / Answer

20) Target cost = expected selling price-desired profit

so answer is d) Expected selling price-desired profit

21) Work in process balance = 2500+4000+(4000*200% ) = 14500

so answer is e) $14,500

22) Overhead = 4400-2000-800 = 1600

Overhead application rate = 1600*100/800 = 200%

so answer is d) 200%
