Answer: $23

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum sales price should be the one that covers Marionette's costs. As the fixed costs remain the same because the excess capacity is being used and thus have already been covered, the relevant costs would be the variable costs;

= Variable manufacturing costs + Variable selling and administrative costs

= 20 + 3

= $23 per unit.
