The following data is for the Rose Company, a manufacturer of cat beds: After-tax income $ 116140 Selling price per unit $ 3.11 Variable cost per unit $ 1.30 Total fixed costs $ 128877 If Rose sold 282945 units, what is the income tax rate?
Select one: a. 50% b. 69.70% c. 90.12% d. 22.68%
Option (b) is correct
First we will calculate Earnings before taxes as per below:
Earnings before taxes = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost
Given:
Sales = $3.11 * 282945 = $879958.95
Variable cost = $1.30 * 282945 = $367828.5
Fixed cost = $128877
Putting the values in the above earnings before taxes formula, we get,
Earnings befotre taxes = $879958.95 - $367828.5 - $128877
Earnings before taxes = $383253.45
Next, we will calculate the amount of taxes as per below:
After tax income = Earnings befor taxes - Taxes
$116140 = $383253.45 - Taxes
Taxes = $383253.45 - $116140
Taxes = $267113.45
Now,
Tax rate = Taxes / Earnings before taxes * 100
Putting the values in the above formula, we get,
Tax rate = $267113.45 / $383253.45 * 100
Tax rate = 69.70%
