wolverine [178]

Explanation:

We will use the break even analysis modified for target profit to calculate the number of units needed to earn the desired

The break even point in units is calculated by dividing the fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit. To calculate the number of units required to earn the desired profit, we add the desired profit to fixed cost and divide it by the contribution margin per unit.

Contribution margin per unit = 250 - 75  =  $175

Number of units required to earn target profit = (325000 + 200000) / 175

Number of units required to earn target profit = 3000 units

The contribution margin ratio is = 175 / 250   =  0.7 or 70%

Dollar Sales required to earn target profit = $4,812,500
