Solution 18-10 wrong.
Variable costs = 56% of sales
Fixed costs = $187,100
Management’s net income goal = $82,092
Contribution margin ratio = (100%-variable cost percentage)
Contribution margin ratio = (100%-56%)
Contribution margin ratio = 54%
Required sales to reach target income of $82,092 = (Total fixed cost + Target income)/(Contribution margin ratio)
Required sales to reach target income of $82,092 = (187100+82092)/54%
Required sales to reach target income of $82,092 = $498,503.7
