I got 7667 units too.
Assume company has to sell x units FC=$200,000 c.m.=$200/unit after tax income=$1,000,000 tax rate=0.25
then: 200x = FC + 1,000,000/(1-tax rate)
200x=200,000+ 1000,000/0.75
so: x=7667 (units)
If I am wrong, please correct me. |

I got the same answer as you but BISK gave the explanation below.
A modified cost-volume-profit formula is required to include the impact of income taxes. Units for a stated after-tax net income = [fixed costs + (after-tax net income) / (1 – tax rate)] / contribution margin per unit = [$200,000 + ($1,000,000) / (1 – 0.25)] / $200 / unit = 4,750 units
I used the same formula,but did not come up with their answers.
This shows that they published their textbook without updating some of their questions
Thanks; now I know I was not on the wrong track.
