c. If the company wants to earn pre-tax profit of $320,000, how many square yards of each type of flooring would it need to sell? How much total revenue would be required?

Note: Round your answer to the next highest whole unit.

| Units       | Revenue |
|-------------|---------|
| Oak:        | 0 square yards | $ 0 |
| Hickory:    | 0 square yards | $ 0 |
| Cherry:     | 0 square yards | $ 0 |
| Total       |               | $ 0 |

d. If the company wants to earn an after-tax profit of $272,000, determine the revenue needed using the contribution margin percentage approach.

Note: Round CM% to the nearest tenth of a percent and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.

$ 0

e. If the company achieves the revenue determined in (d), what is the (1) breakeven point in dollars, and the margin of safety (2) in dollars and (3) as a percentage?

- **Note**: In your breakeven point in dollars calculation, round CM% to the nearest tenth of a percent; round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.
- **Note**: Round margin of safety in dollars to the nearest whole dollar.
- **Note**: Round the margin of safety percentage to the nearest tenth of a percent (for example, round 5.6666% to 5.7%).

Breakeven in dollars: $ 2,752,294

Margin of safety in dollars: $ 0

Margin of safety percentage: 0%
