vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Contribution Margin=Sales - variable cost =$8.75-$3.50=$5.25

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin / Sales = $5.25/ $8.75=60%

Pre-Tax Net Income=Net Income/(1-tax rate)

$117,600/(1-0.36)=$183,750

Target Revenue =Fixed cost +Target Pre-Tax net Income/Contribution margin Ratio =($430,500+$183,750)/0.6=$1,023,750

2. Number of customers needed to Break Even

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit=$430,500/$5.25=82,000 Customers

Number of customers to earn 117,600 = (Fixed costs + 117,600)/5.25 = (430,500+117,600)/5.25 = 104,400

Sales (170,000*8.75) 1,487,500

Less: Cost of goods sold (170,000*3.50) -595,000

Contribution margin 892,500

Less: fixed costs -430,500

Net Income before tax 462,000

Less: tax rate (462,000*36%) - 166,320
