I get 13,378 units as my answer. Is that what you get too? I'm thinking that there is an error in this question because I don't see how 15,000 units is the correct answer.
This came from Chapter 17, question 14 at http://websites.swlearning.com/cgi-wadsworth/course_products _wp.pl?fid=M20b&flag=student&product_isbn_issn=97803 24233100&disciplinenumber=400
The Alma Company had the following income statement for the month of July 2005: | Alma Company | | Income Statement | | For the Month of July 2005 | | Sales ($70 x 10,000) |
| $700,000 | Cost of goods sold: |
|
| Direct materials ($15 x 10,000) | $150,000 |
| Direct labor ($10 x 10,000) | 100,000 |
| Variable factory overhead ($7 x 10,000) | 70,000 |
| Fixed factory overhead | 220,000 | 540,000 | | ------------ | ------------ | Gross profit |
| $160,000 | Selling and administrative expenses: | | | Variable ($1 x 10,000) | $10,000 |
| Fixed | 140,000 | 150,000 | | ------------ | ------------ | Operating income |
| $ 10,000 | |
| ======== | What is the sales volume required to earn a profit of $135,000?
 | a. | 10,909 units |
|
 | b. | 8,334 units |
|
 | c. | 15,000 units |
|
 | d. | 10,758 units |

If fixed costs were higher by 60,000, then C would be the answer. However, I fail to see the logic to it as well.
