2. Target profit = $12,000 =7,500 units

Unit contribution margin $1.60 per unit

Thus, the company must sell 7,500 units above the break-even point to

earn a profit of $12,000 each month. These units, added to the 21,000

units required to break even, would equal total sales of 28,500 units

each month to reach the target profit figure.
