Explanation / Answer

contribution margin=Sales-Variable costs

=(60-27)=$33 per unit

Total Current total contribution margin=(33*4200)=$138600

Required contribution margin=(138600*1.3)=$180180

Hence dollar sales required=Required contribution margin/contribution margin ratio

=(180180/0.55)=$327600

Current total sales=(4200*60)=$252000

Hence increase in sales required=(327600-252000)

=$75600.
