Net Income Planning Nolden Company has charged a selling price of $20 per unit, incurred variable costs of $14 per unit, and total fixed costs of $90,000. What unit sales volume is necessary to earn the following related amounts of net income before income tax? (a) $18,000; (b) $27,000; or (c) equal to 20% of sales revenue
Contribution margin=Sales-Variable costs
=(20-14)=$6 per unit
1.Target Contribution margin=Fixed costs+Target profits
=(90000+18000)=$108000
Hence units to be sold=(108000/6)=18000 units.
2.Target Contribution margin=Fixed costs+Target profits
=(90000+27000)=$117000
Hence units to be sold=(117000/6)=19500 units.
3.Let units sold be x
Hence total sales=20x
Hence required profit=(20%*20x)=$4x
Target Contribution margin=90000+4x
Hence
6x=90000+4x
Hence x=90000/(6-4)
=45000 units.
