    Instructions are below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The current market price of cloth shopping bags is $2.25

    Target profit = 60%

    First, we need to calculate the cost per unit to reach the target cost.

    Target cost = selling price * (1-targert profit)

    Target cost = 2.25*0.4 = $0.9

    Now, if $0.8 is the unitary total cost:

    Cost = (0.8*100) / 2.25 = 35.5%

    Profit = 100 - 35.5 = 64.5%

    The company should manufacture the product because it reaches the target profit per unit.
