How many units of product must Vernon make and sell to earn a $72,000 profit? The marketing manager believes that sales would increase dramatically if the price were reduced to $46 per unit. How many units of product must Vernon make and sell to earn a $72,000 profit, if the sales price is set at $46 per unit?
1)Units to breakeven = Fixed cost /(price- variable cost)
= 576000/(52-28)
= 576000/ 24
= 24000 units
2)Target unit sales =[fixed cost+ target profit ]/[price-variable cost]
=[576000+72000]/[52-28]
= 648000/24
= 27000 units
3)Target unit sales = [576000+72000]/[46-28]
= 648000/18
= 36000 units
