Answer 2

The sales level in units to achieve the desired profit is 5,200 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed cost = $ 3,000

Desired profit = $10,000

Lets the number of units sales is N.

Total variable cost = $2.5*N

Sales revenue = $5*N

Net Profit = Sales revenue – cost of goods sold – operating expenses

$10,000 = ($5*N) – ($2.5*N) - $3,000

($5*N) – ($2.5*N) = $ 10,000 + $ 3,000

$2.5*N = $ 13,000

N = $13,000/$2.5

= 5,200 units

Therefore, The sales level in units to achieve the desired profit is 5,200 units.
