Xcite Equipment Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $330 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $211,200, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $264 per 100 yards of XT rope.

(1) Compute the unit sales to earn the target after-tax net income.

Explanation:

Preliminary computations

Pretax income	= After-tax income / (1 – Tax rate)
	= $900,000 / (1 – 0.40)
	= $900,000 / 0.60
	= $1,500,000

Income taxes	= Pretax income × Tax rate
	= $1,500,000 × 0.40 = $600,000
