Answer:

32,500 units must be sold to realize an operating income of $250,000.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

Using the break-even plus target profit analysis, we can calculate the target quantity of sales that will generate a target profit.

To break-even, the company needs to sell the following quantity,

Break-even point = fixed costs/contribution margin per unit = $400,000/$20 = 20,000 units.

To achieve a target profit, the company needs to sell the following quantity,

Break-even with target profit = (Fixed cost + target profit)/contribution margin per unit = ($400,000 + 250,000) / $20 = $650,000/$20 = 32,500 units.

b) Break-even analysis is a managerial accounting technique for determining the units should a company can sell or produce in order to even revenue and costs.  From the analysis, a company can also determine the units to sell in order to realize a target profit.  This helps a lot in decision making.

This is often referred to as the clinical approach. The clinical approach is also known as the threshold approach to clinical decision making. This approach combines rational and quantitative information with a general approach to decision making. In this situation, say you were hiring a new employee, a person using the clinical approach would look at their resume in how they match up with numbers and on paper to the candidate their looking for but also who they are as a person in a general sense.
