I have no idea how to use the tax rate. I know how to do it without a tax rate. Can someone show me the steps to do this with the tax rate?
Gold Corporation is attempting to establish a price on a new widget that it creates. Information on the widget is reported below:
Per Unit Total
Direct Materials $75
Direct Labor $115
Variable Manufacturing Overhead $25
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead $500,000
Variable Selling Costs $35
Fixed Selling Costs $250,000
Budgeted production is 37,000 units. Gold Corporation invested $2,000,000 in technology to produce this new and improved widget, and they desire an annual return on investment of 35% after taxes (assume an income tax rate of 30%). Determine the markup percentage and target selling price which will allow them to earn the desired 35% after tax return on investment.
Solution
now,
let us determine the desired selling price:
target selling price = (11,000,000 / 37,000) =>$297.30.per unit...(rounded to two decimals).
target cost = (10,000,000 / 37,000) =>$270.27.
markup percentage = (target selling price - target cost ) / target cost * 100
=> (297.30 -270.27) / 270.27 *100
=>10%.......(rounded to two decimals).
| investment | $2,000,000 |
| desired return on investment (35% * 2,000,000) after tax | 700,000 |
| deisred return before tax (after tax return / (1 - tax rate)) (700,000 / (1-0.30) | 1,000,000 |
