What is the number of units that must be sold to earn an after tax net income of $42,000

Show solution.

Explanation / Answer

1.variable cost are 60% of sales and required profit is 10% of sales , thus the fixed cost should comprise of rest 30% in sales.

fixed cost = $240,000

required sales to earn 10% profit=$240,000/30%

i.e $ 800,000.

b. if variable cost in sales is 75% then contribution should be 25%.

contribution=fixed cost+ profit

desired contribution=400000+100000=500000

so the desired sales should be 500000/25%=$2000000

units of production= 500000

sales price per unit=2000000/500000= $4 per unit

c.At break even our contribution equals fixed cost thus whatever contribution we get after breakeven point reflects our profit.

in this case contribution per unit= 600/200=$3.

Thus from 201st unit profit will be $3 per unit.

d.selling price=120

variable cost=80

contribution =40

p/v ratio=contribution/sales=40/120=33.33%
