Question

Wang Co. manufactures and sells a single product that sells for $540 per unit; variable costs are $324 per unit. Annual fixed costs are $836,000. Current sales volume is $4,290,000. Management targets an annual pre-tax income of $1,215,000. Compute the unit sales to earn the target pre-tax net income.

Answer 1

Answer: 9,495 units

Explanation:

First find the contribution margin:

= Sales price - Variable cost

= 540 - 324

= $216 per unit

The unit sales required can be calculated by the formula:

= (Annual pre-tax income target + Fixed cost) / Contribution margin

= (1,215,000 + 836,000) / 216

= 9,495.37 units

= 9,495 units
