Flyer would have to cut $2 per unit  in order to meet the new target cost.

What is target cost?

The target cost of a product is the expected selling price of the product minus the desired profit from selling

First, we need to get the target cost

= Target Selling price per unit - Target profit per unit

= $48 - ($48 x 0.125)

= $48 - $6

= $42

Then,  Flyer have to cut costs per unit

= Cost for product - Target cost

= $44 - $42

= $2

Hence, Flyer would have to cut $2 per unit  in order to meet the new target cost.
