Explanation / Answer

d) Contribution Margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $38.32 - $13.41 = $24.91 per unit

Current Total contribution Margin = Units sold currently*Contribution margin per unit

= 2,990 units*$24.91 per unit = $74,480.90

Increase in total contribution margin = 30%*$74,480.90 = $22,344.27

Increase in units sold required = Increase in total contribution margin/Contribution margin per unit

= $22,344.27/$24.91 = 897 units

Increase in sales required (in $) = 897 units*$38.32 per unit = $34,373.04
