Under JIS Q9000:2000 (ISO 9000:2000) – Quality Management Systems: Fundamentals and
Vocabulary, a third party audit is defined as being “executed by an outside, independent organization.” This auditing body is required to “verify the conformity against the requirements
of JIS Q9001 and JIS Q14001, and engage in examination and registration.” When a company
wishes to receive an audit of the quality management system, the company requests the audit
to an outside examination and registration body that is unrelated to the stockholders’ meeting

Answer
Explanation
The required net sales is calculated using the following formula: (Fixed costs + Target profit)
÷ (1 − Variable costs).
Variable cost ratio: (50,000,000 yen variable costs) ÷ (100,000,000 yen net sales) = 0.5
Therefore, the required net sales is calculated using the following formula:
Required net sales: (30,000,000 yen + 18,000,000 yen) ÷ (1−0.5) = 48,000,000 yen ÷ 0.5
= 96,000,000 yen
