Contribution margin=Sales-Variable costs

1.Target Contribution margin=Fixed cost+Target income

=(23580+4500)=$28080

Hence target units=(28080/54)=520

2.Target Contribution margin=(9500+23580)=$33080

Contribution margin ratio=Contribution margin/Sales

=(54/135)=0.4

Hence sales=(33080/0.4)=$82700.
