Answer:

B. $200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Contribution margin = Fixed costs + Profit

Contribution margin = $120,000 + $60,000

Contribution margin = $180,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin/Sales

Contribution margin ratio= $180,000/$300,000

Contribution margin ratio = 60%

Break-even sales revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio

Break-even sales revenue = $120,000/60%

Break-even sales revenue = $200,000

Hence, $200,000 is the sales revenue needed for Carlos to break even
