Expected profit after tax: Example 2
Easysteam Ltd manufactures and sells steam irons. The irons sell at N$190 per unit and the variable costs
amount to N$81,70 per unit. The company’s fixed costs are N$108 000 per year and the current tax rate is
35%.
Required:
Calculate what the company’s sales value (N$) must be if management expects a net income of N$125 000
after income tax.
Solution to Example 2
Fixed costs + [Expected after-tax profit ÷ (1 – Tax rate)]
Required sales value =
Marginal income ratio
N$108 000 + [N$125 000 ÷ (1 – 0,35)]
=
N$108,30 ÷ N$190
N$108 000 + (N$97 500 ÷ 0,65)
=
0,57
N$108 000 + N$192 308
=
0,57
N$300 308
=
0,57
= N$526 856

company operated at full capacity.

It has been estimated that:
1.3.1 if the selling price per unit were reduced to N$28, the increased demand would utilise 90% of the
company’s capacity without any additional advertising expenditure; and
