    to save your time you can get it by this formula

    In case the target profit is percentage of sales you should treat it as {VC}

     

    target volume in dallor = fc         /        p-vc-                 -        Pre- tax Target on sales %

                                           240,000 /          0.30              -      0.06/.60                                        

                                          240,000/                              0.20                                                  =   1,200,000
