Assignment: Units and Sales to Earn After-Tax Target Profit
When looking for the number of units, or amount of sales dollars to earn a target profit, we have been talking about before-tax profit. If a company wants to determine the units or sales dollars to earn an after-tax target profit, that profit must be restated into before-tax terms. This is because the tax rate (used to turn before-tax profit into after-tax profit) is not a part of the breakeven equation.
To convert before-tax income to after-tax income, divide the before-tax income by 1 minus the tax rate.
Example: Kalman Company has the following information:
|
Price
|
$14
|
|
Unit variable cost
|
$3.92
|
|
Total fixed cost
|
$30,600
|
|
Tax rate
|
40%
|
Kalman wants to earn after-tax income of $9,780 next year. What is the before-tax income?
Before-tax income = $9,780/(1 - 0.4) = $16,300
Suppose Kalman's tax rate was 35%, the before-tax income needed to earn $9,780 after taxes would be _________________ $16,300.
The before-tax income in this case would be $ _________________ (round to the nearest dollar).
The sales revenue needed to earn this level of before-tax income would be $ _________________ (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest dollar).
We can show that this is true by constructing an income statement.
