Answer 1

If Solemon wants to earn a targeted profit of $3,600, the number of units must be sold are 9,300 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Solemon Company:

Contribution margin per unit = Sales price – Variable cost per unit = $8-$6=$2

The number of units must be sold to meet the target profit figure are calculated by using following formula:

The number of units must be sold = (Total fixed cost + Targeted profit) / Contribution margin per unit.

In there: Total fixed cost are $15,000

Targeted profit are $3,600

The number of units must be sold = ($15,000 + $3,600)/$2 = $18,600/$2 = 9,300 units.
