Expert Solution

1.

After Tax Profit	100,000
Before tax profit (100,000*100/80)	125,000
Add: Fixed costs	750,000
Reuqired Contribution	875,000

Contirbtuion per unit => 20 - 15 = 5 Rs per unit.

So, Units required to be produced => 875,000/5 = 175,000 units.

Income Statement:

Income Statement
Sales (175000)	3500,000
Less: Variable Costs
Manufacturing Costs (152/3175000)	1750,000
Non-manufacturing	875,000
Contirbution	875,000
Less: Fixed Costs
Manufacturing (750,000*2/3)	500,000
Non-manufacturing	250,000
Income before taxes	125,000
Less: Taxes @ 20%	25000
Income after twax	100,000

B.

If Tax rates goes up by 5% ie 25% and down by 5% ie 15%

Required Income	100,000	100,000
Income after tax	100,000/.75 = 133,333	100,000/0.85 = 117,647
Fixed Cost	750,000	750,000
Contribution	883,333	867,647
Contribution per unit	5	5
Units to the sold	176,667	173,529

If manufacturing costs both variable and fixed go up by 10% and fall by 10%:

Profit before taxes	125,000	125,000
Fixed costs (750,000+/-500,000*10%)	800,000	700,000
Contribution	925,000	825,000
Contirbtuion per unit	(20-(15+1)=4	20-(15-1)= 6
Units to be sold	925000/4 = 231250	137,500
