Question 2. McDormand Products, Inc., desires an after-tax income of $500,000.

It has fixed costs of $2,500,000, a unit sales price of $300, and unit variable costs of $150, and is in the 40% tax bracket.

Required:

1. What amount of pre-tax income is needed to earn an after-tax income of $500,000?

2. What target volume sales revenue must be reached to earn the $500,000 after-tax income?

3. Assuming that this is a single-product firm, how many units must be sold to earn the after-tax income of $500,000?
