Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to understand that the mark-up of 33.3% is the profit that the company wants to make on its cost of production.

Step 1: Express the mark-up as a decimal. 33.3% = 0.333

Step 2: Let's denote the cost of production as C. According to the problem, the selling price ($120) is the cost of production plus the mark-up on the cost of production. So, we can write the equation as follows:

120 = C + 0.333C

Step 3: Combine like terms:

120 = 1.333C

Step 4: Solve for C (the cost of production):

C = 120 / 1.333 ≈ 90

So, the target cost of production is approximately $90.

Step 5: To find the target cost as a percentage of the target price, we divide the cost by the price and multiply by 100%:

(90 / 120) * 100% = 75%

So, the target cost of the product as a percentage of the target price for the product is 75%. Therefore, the correct answer is c. 75%.
