Crane Machine Works produces soft serve ice cream freezers. The freezers sell for $17,000, and variable costs total $12,100 per
ycow [4]

Answer:

7,451

Explanation:

The net income is the profit/loss made after the deduction of all expenses from the revenue or sales made including taxes.

The cost elements includes the fixed cost and the variable cost which is dependent on the level of activities.

Given,

Fixed cost = $25,860,000

Variable cost per unit = $12,100

Selling price per unit = $17,000

Tax rate = 28%

Net income planned = $7,668,000

Let the number of freezers to be sold be p

17000p - (12100p + 25,860,000) - 0.28((17000p - (12100p + 25,860,000))= 7,668,000

0.72((17000p - (12100p + 25,860,000)) = 7,668,000

3528p = 7,668,000 + 18619200   = 26287200

p = 26287200  /3528

p = 7451

Crane Machine Works would have to sell 7,451 freezers to make a net profit of $7,668,000.
