In 2018, x company sold 6,800 units of its only product for $36.10 each. unit costs were as follows: variable manufacturing $14.50 fixed manufacturing 2.35 variable selling 5.11 fixed selling 2.63 total 24.59 in 2019, the selling price, variable costs per unit, and total fixed costs are not expected to change. assuming a tax rate of 39%, how many units must x company sell in 2019 in order to earn $63,000 after taxes?

Answer The correct answer is 8.317 units

Explanation:

Firstly, calculate the Total fixed costs= ($2.35+$2.63)*6800= $33.864 Fixed Manufacturing and Selling cost

Secondly, calculate the earnings before taxes 63.000/(1-tax rate) = 63.000(/1-0.39)= 103.278.69

Then, Calculate the Revenue less fixed cost  103.278.69+33.864=137.142,68

Then calculate the Variable margin that is equal to ( Price of sales per unit – Variable manufacturing – Variable selling) = (36.10-14.50-5.11)= 16.49

Finally divide the revenue less fixed cost on the variable margin (137.142,68/16.49) = 8316.72
