Follow-up Question

A componenet of the direct materials cost requires the nectar of a specific plant in South America. If the company could eliminate this special ingredient, the materials cost would decrease by 25%. However, this would require design changes of 300000 to engineer a chemical equivalent of the ingredient. Will this design change allow the product to meet its target cost?
