Answer: 6250
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Santiago company incurs annual fixed costs of $66,000. variable costs for santiago's product are $34 per unit, and the sales price is $50 per unit. santiago desires to earn an annual profit of $34,000.
The contribution margin ratio approach to determine the sales volume in dollars and units required to earn the desired profit for thus:
Contribution margin ratio = (Sales price - Variable cost)/Sales price
= (50-34)/50
= 16/50
= 0.32
Sales = (66,000 + 34,000)/0.32
= 100,000/0.32
= 312,500
Sales volume in units will be sales divided by price. This will be:
= 312,500/50
= 6250
