Thank you for the invitation.  I have checked your above question. I have found that your question and choices  confirmed were not  enough clear to me in order to set up my answer. Sorry for that. I hope that my colleagues answer will meet your requirements.

Thanks for the invite.

With the available information about figures & options which of course is not all that clear, using standard PTA formula, according to me PTA works out to be 1$ .

I can not answer the question because the numbers are not shown clearly in the question and in options.

Please check numbers and percentage is question.

In general solution should be:

Target Price = Target Cost + Target Fee

PTA = [(Ceiling Price - Target Price)/Buyer's Share Ratio]+Target Price

Hope it's clear
