Ans
Let X be the number of freezers to generate a net income of 7765000
Total Sales = 16500X
Total Variable costs = 12400X
Total Contribution = 4100X
Fixed Cost = 26330000
Income Before taxes = 4100X - 26330000
Taxes is 29%. Therefore net income is 71%
Net Income = 7765000 = (4100X - 26330000) * 71%
=2911X-18694300
7765000 = 2911X-18694300
2911X = 18694300+7765000
2911X = 26459300
X = 26459300/2911
= 9089
Number of freezers to generate a net income of 7765000 = 9089
Verification
Total contribution = 4100*9089 = 37264900
Less Fixed cost = 26330000
Income before taxes = 10934900
Less taxes @ 29% = 3171121
Net Income = 7763779
