(Uncle Sam Gets his Due)
To incorporate the effect of income taxes (we assume
that taxable income = accounting income which isn’t true due to deferred taxes.
You maybe covered this in the last module with Dr. Tucker. This assumption, however, suffices for basic CVP analysis. Tax-to-book differences may be incorporated into finer levels
- f budgeting and planning).
Before tax profit = After-tax Profit / (1 – Tax Rate) Then use the before tax profit in place of the “Desired
Profit” in the formula on the previous slide.

Example with Taxes
Suppose Pretty Tile, Inc. manufactures ceramic flooring tiles.
PTI’s annual fixed costs are $740,000. The variable cost of each tile is $0.25, and tiles are sold for $6.50 each. PTI has a combined state and federal tax rate of 45%.
How many tiles does PTI need to make and sell each year to
earn an after-tax profit of $85,000?
First, convert the desired after-tax profit to before-tax:
= $85,000 / (1 - .45) = $154,545
Now, use the desired before-tax profit in the target profit
calculation:
= ($740,000 + $154,545)/($6.50 - $0.25) = 143,127 tiles
