Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $140 and whose variable expense is $70 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $31, 600. Required: Using the equation method, determine for the unit sales that are required to earn a target profit of $8, 300. (Round up your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Expert Answer
Let units sold be x.
Using the equation method:
Sales=Variable expense+Fixed expense+Target profit
140x=70x+31600+8300
70x=39900.
Hence x=unit sales=(39900/70)=570
