Solution
18-10 wrong.

Variable
costs = 56% of sales

Fixed costs =
$187,100

Management’s
net income goal = $82,092

Contribution
margin ratio = (100%-variable cost percentage)

Contribution
margin ratio = (100%-56%)

Contribution
margin ratio = 54%

Required sales
to reach target income of $82,092 = (Total fixed cost + Target
income)/(Contribution margin ratio)

Required
sales to reach target income of $82,092 = (187100+82092)/54%

Required
sales to reach target income of $82,092 = $498,503.7
