so now Required Contribution Margin will be

Required Contribution Margin = Fixed Cost -  loss

Required Contribution Margin = $60,000 - $7,500

Required Contribution Margin = $52,500

so Units to be sold to achieve the target will be

Units to be sold to achieve the target =

Units to be sold to achieve the target =

Units to be sold to achieve the target = 4200 units
