Try again Assume that Adam\'s fixed costs, variable costs, and sales price were the same last year, when he made $25,200 in net income. How many hats did Adam sell last year, assuming a 30% income tax rate? (Use the rounded contribution margin per unit calculated in the previous part.) 18000 hats

Solution

Answer c.

Contribution Margin per unit = $6
Fixed Costs = $108,000
Net Income = $25,200

Income before tax = Net Income / (1 - tax)
Income before tax = $25,200 / (1 - 0.30)
Income before tax = $36,000

Number of units sold = (Fixed Costs + Income before tax) / Contribution Margin per unit
Number of units sold = ($108,000 + $36,000) / $6
Number of units sold = 24,000

So, Adam sold 24,000 hats last year

Answer d.

Contribution Margin per unit = $6
Fixed Costs = $108,000
Desired Net Income = $45,360

Desired Income before tax = Desired Net Income / (1 - tax)
Desired Income before tax = $45,360 / (1 - 0.30)
Desired Income before tax = $64,800

Required number of units = (Fixed Costs + Desired Income before tax) / Contribution Margin per unit
Required number of units = ($108,000 + $64,800) / $6
Required number of units = 28,800

So, Adam must sell 28,800 hats to earn net income of $45,360

Answer e.

Selling Price per unit = $39
Cost per unit = $34

Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Cost per unit
Contribution Margin per unit = $39 - $34
Contribution Margin per unit = $5

Fixed Costs = $108,000

Breakeven Sale = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per unit
Breakeven Sale = $108,000 / $5
Breakeven Sale = 21,600

So, Adam has to sell 21,600 to achieve breakeven
