Jack's Jax has total fixed costs of $25,000. If the company's contribution margin is 60%, the income tax rate is 25% and the selling price of a box of Jax is $20, how many boxes of Jax would the company need to sell to produce a net income of $15,000? Explain your answer.
Net Income = $ 15,000
Hence, Income Before Tax =$ 15,000 / (100%- 25%) * 100%
= $ 20,000
Required Net Income = $ 20,000
Add: Fixed Cost = $ 25,000
Required Contribution Margin = $ 45,000
Contribution Margin Per Unit = Selling Price * Contribution Margin Ratio
= $ 20 * 60%
= $ 12
Hence, Units to be sold to produce the required net income = Contribution Margin Required / Contribution Margin Per Unit
= $ 45,000 /$ 12 Per Unit
= 3,750 Boxes
Hence the correct answer is 3,750 Boxes
