A company desires to sell a sufficient quantity of products to earn a profit of $300000. If the unit sales price is $32, unit variable cost is $12, and total fixed costs are $800000, how many units must be sold to earn net income of $300000?a) 168,750 unitsb) 90,000 unitsc) 112,500 unitsd) 67,500 units

Answer 1

55,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many units must be sold

Using this formula

Units to be sold=Total fixed costs +Profit/(Sales price-Variable cost )

Let plug in the formula

Units to be sold =($800,000+$300,000)/($32 -$12)

Units to be sold=$1,100,000/$20

Units to be sold=55,000 units

Therefore units that must be sold to earn net income of $300000 will be 55,000 units
