Answer:
$4,812,500 Dollar sales to achieve EBT of 1,125,000
Explanation:
The goal would be to calcualte the break even formula adding in the dividend the target profit:
[tex]\frac{FixedCost+Target Profit}{Contribution Margin Ratio} = $Sales to Target Profit[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\frac{Contribution Margin}{Sales Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio[/tex]
Where:
[tex]$Contribution Margin - Fixed Cost = Net Income[/tex]
So first step
$450 Sales - $270 Variable Cost = $180 Contribution Margin
Second:
180/450 = 40% CM ratio
Finally:
[tex]\frac{FixedCost+Target Profit}{Contribution Margin Ratio} = $Sales to Target Profit[/tex]
[tex]\frac{800,000+1,125,000}{0.40} = $4,812,500[/tex]
