Explanation / Answer

Exisitng Contribution Margin = (Selling Price Per Unit - Variable Costs Per unit ) * Units

= ( $ 35 .99 - $ 12.60) * 2,420 Units

= $ 56,603.80

Increase in Contribution Margin = Exisitng * 30%

= $ 56,603.80 * 30%

= $ 16,981.14

Hence Sales required for the increased  Contribution Margin = Increased Contribution Margin / Exisitng Contribution Margin Ratio

=$ 16,981.14/ 64.990275%

= $ 26,129

Hence the correct answer is $ 26,129
