Question

Mesa Cheese Company has developed a new cheese slicer called Slim Slicer. The company plans to sell this slicer through its catalog, which it issues monthly. Given market research, Mesa believes that it can charge $18 for the Slim Slicer. Prices of the Slim Slicer, however, are costing $27. By using cheaper materials and gaining efficiencies in mass production, Mesa believes it can reduce Slim Slicer's cost substantially. Mesa wishes to earn a return of 35% of the selling price. Compute the target cost for the Slim Slicer. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)
