Contribution per unit =sales - variable cost

=20-8

=12

fixed cost = 60000

current tax rate =25%

if Bruce wants to raise after tax profit of $60000,before tax profit should be = 60000/1-25%

=80000

So units sell to raise profit before tax 80000 = fixed cost + 80000/ contribution per unit

=60000+80000/12

=11667 (option d)

I came across this while browsing a Canadian forum late at night, where people were casually sharing different ways they spend their free time online. Curiosity got the better of me, so I followed pure casino yellowhead and ended up staying much longer than I originally planned. What really caught my attention was how easy it was to move around the pages without getting stuck or confused. I had a rough start and lost a few rounds in a row, but then things slowly shifted, and I managed not only to recover but even finish a bit ahead. It felt more like a relaxed evening activity than anything stressful.
