Answer:

Hi your question lacks the number of units sold hence i will give you the total sales to earn the pre-tax net income

$4812500 ( total sales to earn the pre-tax net income )

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price of a single product = $450

variable cost = $270

contribution margin = selling price - variable cost

= 450 - 270 = $180

contribution margin ratio = contribution margin / selling price

= 180 / 450 = 0.4 = 40%

Annual fixed cost = $800000

Annual pre income tax = $1125000

Therefore the required contribution margin will be = annual fixed cost + annual pre income tax

= 800000 + 1125000

= $1925000

hence to get the sales to earn pre tax net income will be

required contribution margin / contribution margin ratio

= 1925000 / 0.4

= $4812500 ( total sales to earn the pre-tax net income )

Answer: The company's current sales is 9,333 units.

It has to sell a total of 10,695 units in order to achieve a target pre tax income of $1,125,000.

First we calculate the number of units sold at the current sales level.

We compute this as:


(Sales)/(Price per unit) = (4,200,000)/(450)  = 93333.33 units

Next we find the contribution margin per unit.


Contribution margin per unit =  Selling Price - Variable Cost


Contribution margin per unit =  450 - 270

Contribution Margin per unit is $180.

Flannigan Company's current per-tax income is calculated as :

Sales 4200000


less:Variable costs @ $270 for 9333.33 units -2520000


Contribution 1680000


less:Fixed Costs -800000


Pre tax income 880000


With this information, we can calculate the Contribution Margin required if the pre tax income should be $1,125,000. We work backwards in order to find the Contribution Margin from Pre-tax income.

Targeted Pre Tax income $1,125,000

Add: Fixed Costs $ 800,000

Contribution Margin $1,925,000

Since we know the per unit contribution, we can calculate the number of units to be sold as:


Targeted sales in units = (New contribution margin)/(Contribution per unit)


Targeted sales in units = (1,925,000)/(180) = 10,694.44

Since products can't be sold in parts, any decimal value after a whole number will be rounded up. Hence the targeted sales will be 10,695 units.
