They want to make a profit of $55,498 Unit Variable costs = $11 Unit selling price is = $37 Fixed costs = $18,470 How many units do they need to sell to make the desired profit?

2,845 units

Explanation:

To find the answer you need to consider that the profit is equal to the sales minus the costs.

Let's consider that x is the number of units sold

Sales= Price per unit*number of units sold

Sales= 37x

Variable cost= Cost per unit*number of units sold

Variable cost= 11x

Fixed cost= 18,470

55,498=37x-11x-18,470

55,498+18,470=26x

73,968=26x

x=73,968/26= 2,845

According to this, the answer is that they need to sell 2,845 units to make the desired profit.
