X Company's accountant has developed the following budgeted revenue and cost functions for 2020:
where R is revenue, C is total cost, and X is units sold.
Assuming a tax rate of 30%, how many units must X Company sell in 2020 in order to earn $276,000 after taxes?
Net Profit Before Taxes = Net Profit After Taxes / (1 - Tax Rate)
Net Profit After Taxes = $ 276,000
Tax Rate = 30%
1- Tax Rate = 1 - 30% = 70%
Net Profit Before Taxes = ?
Net Profit Before Taxes = 276,000 * 100/70
Net Profit Before Taxes = $ 394,286
Calculation of Units to be sold to earn Net Profit Before Taxes of $ 394,826
Net Profit Before Taxes = R - C
Where
R stands for Revenue
C stands for Total Cost
X stands for Units Sold
R = 30.12X
C = 20.37 X + 325,000
Net Profit Before Taxes = 30.12 - (20.37X + 325,000)
394,286 = 30.12 X - 20.37 X - 325,000
394,286 + 325,000 = 9.75X
9.75 X = 719,286
X = 719,286 / 9.75
X = 73,773 Units
Units Required to be sold to earn Target Profit of $ 276,000 after Taxes = 73,773 Units
