Teton Inc sells its only product for 50 per unit
Teton, Inc. sells its only product for $50 per unit. Fixed expenses total $800,000 per year. Variable expenses are $1,000,000 when 40,000 units are sold. How many units must be sold to earn a net operating income of $75,000?
Units sales for desired profit = (Fixed cost + Target profit) / Contribution margin per unit
= ($800,000 + $75,000) /$25
= 875000 / 25
= 35,000 units
Working :
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $50 - (1,000,000 /40,000)
= $25
Therefore correct answer is units required for desired operating profit = 35,000 units
Units sales for desired profit = (Fixed cost + Target profit) / Contribution margin per unit
