To accomplish the required net profit you should sell 23250 unit.

and here's how to calculate it :

you need to accomplish net profit 180000 after taxes

Taxes =25 % from total profit

Total profit = 180000 / 75 %= 240000

Add the fixed cost = 225000

Cost for selling unites before variable cost = 240000 + 225000 = 465000

Divide this cost by net between selling price/unit and variable cost/unit (45-25=20) = 465000 / 20 = 23250 Unit

Total variable cost = 23250 * 25 = 581250

Total fixed cost = 225000

Total cost = 581250 + 225000 = 806250

 

and here's the result

Sales = 23250 * 45 = 1046250

Total cost = 806250

Profit before taxes =1046250 - 806250 = 240000

Taxes = 240000 * 25 % = 60000

Net profit after taxes = 240000 - 60000 = 180000

Formula to arrive the number of units to be sold with a predetermined profit is:

Profit to be acheived + fixed cost/ contribution per unit.

 

Profit before tax expected : 240000 (180000/75%)

Fixed cost: 250000

Units to be sold = 24500 ((240000+250000)/(45-25))
