Explanation / Answer

1)Number of helmets = (Fixed cost + target profit)/contribution per unit

                                     =(50,300 + 94,900)/(78- 45)

                                     = 145,200/33

                                    = 4,400 helemets

Sales           4,400*78                                                     $343,200

Total revenue expense (4,400*45)                                 198,000

total contribution margin                                              145,200

total fixed expense                                                          50,300

Operating income                                                         $94,900
