Alafaya has a sales forecast of $10 million and has set a goal to earn $4,320,000 in net income in the coming year. The firm manufactures heat resistant components for gas turbine engines that sell for $5,000 each. This firm has a 60% contribution margin, a 21% tax rate, and no outstanding debt. What will be the fixed costs in the next year should the firm reach its goal?
Solution
Sales revenue= 10000000
Net income= 4320000
Net income= Gross income- tax
Net income= Gross income- (.21*Gross income)
.79* Gross income= Net income
.79*Gross income=4320000
Gross income= 5468354
Contribution margin ratio= (Total revenue- Variable costs)/Total revenue
Contribution margin=.6
.6= (10000000-Variable cost)/10000000
6000000=10000000-Variable cost
Variable cost = 4000000
Gross income= Revenue- (Variable cost+ fixed cost)
5468354= 10000000-4000000-fixed cost
Fixed cost= 531645.57
