The question asks: 'If the profit/kg for Serano that goes into Boost decreases by $6, how much will the target cell decrease by?' To reason this out, we need to understand what the target cell represents and how it relates to profit per kilogram.

First, identify what amounts are involved: the profit per kilogram allocated to Boost (which is given as a change of $6, presumably a decrease) and the target cell value, which is the quantity we want to determine the change for.

Second, determine the relationship between the profit/kg and the target cell. This relationship could be linear or governed by a specific formula or model provided in the broader problem context (for example, a production-cost allocation model, a conversion factor, or a sensitivity rule that maps changes in profit per kg to changes in the target cell).

Third, check for any proportionality or coefficient that links the two quantities. If the target cell is directly proportional to profit/kg, then a $6 decrease in profit/kg would lead to a $6 times the proportionality constant decrease in the target cell. If the relationship is inverse, additive, multiplicative with a different base, or dependent on other variables, the calculation would change accordingly.

Fourth, note that the current information as provided contains no numerical value for the initial target cell, no explicit formula linking the two quantities, and no units or scale for the target cell. Without these details, it is impossible to compute the exact numerical change in the target cell.

Fifth, in a real analysis, you would look for:
- The base target cell value or baseline at the original profit/kg.
- The exact formula or rule that maps profit/kg changes to target cell changes (e.g., target_change = coefficient × profit_change).
- Any constraints or thresholds (e.g., minimums, caps, or saturations) that might affect the mapping.

Sixth, given the absence of a defined relationship or additional numbers, you cannot determine a definite numerical decrease for the target cell. Any attempt would rely on assumptions not provided in the question, which would risk giving an incorrect result.

Seventh, if you obtain the missing pieces—namely the mathematical relationship between profit/kg and the target cell, and the baseline target cell value—you would apply that relationship directly: substitute the $6 profit/kg decrease into the formula and compute the resulting change in the target cell, including units and sign (positive/negative) as defined by the model.

Eighth, to proceed, you should request the missing information: the explicit formula or rule linking profit/kg to the target cell and the baseline values needed to evaluate the change. Once those are available, performing the calculation will be straightforward and precise.

In summary, with only the fact that profit/kg decreases by $6 and no information about how that profit translates into the target cell, there is no deterministic way to compute the target cell's change. The next step is to obtain the governing relationship and baseline values from the problem context.
