Question - Electronic Component Company (ECC) is a producer of high-end video and music equipment. ECC currently sells its top of the line "ECC" video player for a price of $370. It costs ECC $270 to make the player. ECC's main competitor is coming to market with a new video player that will sell for a price of $340. ECC feels that it must reduce its price to $340 in order to compete. The sales and marketing department of ECC believes the reduced price will cause sales to increase by 19%. ECC currently sells 212,000 video players per year.

Assuming sales and marketing are not correct in their estimation and the volume of sales is not changed and ECC meets the competitive price, what is the target cost if ECC wants to maintain its same income level?
