As a former world champion of sprint Ms. Eda T. Light - nickname "Thunder & Lightning" - established her own sports shoes company "TAL Ltd." Before launching the first sprinters' shoe for young female athletes she wants to apply the Target Costing methodology. Her cousin ran a survey and did market research, and found out how potential buyers value the various features of the product => Table 1. Table 1 How important are the shoes features for the buying decision of female athletes? 45% 30% 100% Natural "naked foor Features experience 25% Individual sation (colour name) Grip The product's price should be $ 150 a pair. The only sales channel is the online shop. She is not too ambitious about profits but 30% of the selling price have to be earned at minimum to cover the initial investment over time, and also her admin cost. Her uncle with 20+ years of experience in the shoe industry assessed how the features are based on actual components of the shoe => Table 2.
