    Target cost per unit = $2.64

    Explanation:

    The target cost is arrived at by subtracting the a desired profit margin from a competitive selling price.

    The target cost per unit =

    ((selling price * qty) - (cost of capital (%) * initial cost)) / No of units

    = ((3 * 1,000,000) - (18%*2,000,000)) / 1,000,000

    = 2.64

    Target cost per unit = $2.64
