    1 Profit before tax = SPv – VCv – FC where SP – sales oprice per unit, VC = variable cost per unit and v = volume in units.

    If the tax rate is t, then profit after tax is (1 – t)(SPv – VCv – FC)

    If you require after tax profit to be p% of revenue, then:

    p xSPv = (1 – t)(SPv – VCv – FC)

    You would put in the figures you are given and solve for v. Hence the required revenue is SPv

    2 Profit before tax = SPv – VCv – FC

    Work out the starting profit, then increase the sales volume by whatever % you are given and work out the new profit. The % increase in the two profits is then easily worked out.
