Ivanhoe Company had $164,500 of net income in 2019 when the selling price per unit was $153, the variable costs per unit were $93, and the fixed costs were $573,500. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2020. The president of Ivanhoe Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $36,900 in 2020.
Units sold in 2019 - 12300
Units needed to be sold in 2020 to reach stockholder's desired profit levels - 12915
Assume that Ivanhoe Company sells the same number of units in
2020 as it did in 2019. What would the selling price have to be in
order to reach the stockholders’ desired profit level?
New selling price | $ |
Answer: |
Break even Units
= (Fixed cost + Net income +
Increse in income)/ Contribution margin 12,300 Units = ( $ 573,500 + $ 164,500 + $ 36,900 ) / (Selling Price (-) $ 93) (Selling Price (-) $ 93) = $ 774,900 / 12,300 Units (Selling Price (-) $ 93) = $ 63 New Selling Price = $ 63 + $ 93 = $ 156 |
New Selling Price = $ 156 |
