    Ortega should set a target cost of $35

    Explanation:

    Target cost is the competitive market price of a product minus the desired profit margin.

    Competitive market price in this case is $45

    Desired profit margin is $10

    Target cost=competitive market price-desired profit amount

    target cost=$45-$10=$35

    Target cost for which the company must produce the hard drive in order to sell at $45 per drive and make a profit of $10 per drive is $35
