Solutions

Expert Solution

Income /profit after tax desired = 1,000,000*.25 = 250000

Income before tax = Income after tax /(1-tax)

= 250000/ (1-.15)

= 250000/.85

= $ 294117.65

Total variable cost per widget= 150+275+125+25= 575

Total variable cost = 575*14000= 8050000

Total cost= variable cost + fixed manufacturing +fixed administrative

= 8050000+175000+150000

= 8375000

Total sales required to earn desired profit = Total cost+ profit

= 8375000+294117.65

= 8669117.65

Selling price per widget = total sales /number of units

= 8669117.65 / 14000

= $ 619.22 per unit
