Explanation / Answer

Answer Part 4 ( As you stateted - thats the only requirement)

Old Variable cost per unit = $32 * 70 % = $22.40

Revised variable cost per unit =  $22.40 - $3.20 = $19.20

Revised Cotribution per unit = Selling Price - Revised variable cost = $32 - $19.20 = $12.80

Target profit = $81,600

Target Contribution = Target profit  + Annual Fixed Cost = $81,600 + $177,600 = $259,200

Units to sale for attaining target profit = Target Contribution / Revised Cotribution per unit

= $259,200 / $12.80 = 20,250 units

Dollar sales needed to attain target profit = Units to sale * Selling price per unit

= 20,250 units * $32 = $648,000
