Target Order Summary Total: 80%
Combined Sales and Orders: 100%
Based on your cash target price of $4.25 times the unsold units of 38,800,
your potential income is $2,500 above your target dollars of $207,402
If your actual marketing is combined with the planned marketing strategies and the remaining production is sold at your cash target price you would arrive at total dollars of $210,755.
This would be $3,353 over your target dollars. Your average price would be $4.32.
