Required information
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Astro Company sold 23,000 units of its only product and reported income of $264,600 for the current
year. During a planning session for next year's activities, the production manager notes that variable
costs can be reduced 44% by installing a machine that automates several operations. To obtain these
savings, the company must increase its annual fixed costs by $156,000. Total units sold and the selling
price per unit will not change.
Compute the sales level required in both dollars and units to earn $260,000 of target income for next year with the
machine installed. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Round
"Contribution margin ratio" to nearest whole percentage)
Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
