Answer:

The selling price per unit (sandwich) is $2.50

The variable cost per unit (sandwich) is $1.80

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

=$2.50 - $1.80

=$0.70

Target sales volume to achieved at location A

The fixed cost is $5,040 per month

The target profit is $10,500 per month

TargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunitTargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunit

TargetSales=5,040+10,5000.70TargetSales=5,040+10,5000.70

TargetSales=22,200unitsTargetSales=22,200units

The company needs to sell 22,200 units at location A to achieve target profit of $10,500

Target sales volume to achieved at location B

The fixed cost is $5,560 per month

The target profit is $10,500 per month

TargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunitTargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunit

TargetSales=5,560+10,5000.70TargetSales=5,560+10,5000.70

TargetSales=22,943unitsTargetSales=22,943units

The company needs to sell 22,943 units at location B to achieve target profit of $10,500

Target sales volume to achieved at location C

The fixed cost is $5,730 per month

The target profit is $10,500 per month

TargetSales=Fixedcosts+Target
