    Level of sales (dollars) to earn profit of $50,000

    = Fixed cost + desired profit

    Contribution margin ratio

    = $275,000 + $50,000

    0.5

    = $650,000

    Number of units to earn profit of $50,000

    = Level of sales

    Selling price

    = $650,000

    $200

    = 3,250 units

    The correct answer is A

    Explanation:

    First and foremost, the level of sales (dollars) to earn $50,000 profit is calculated, which is the ratio of fixed cost and desired profit to contribution margin ratio. Then, we will calculate the number of units to be sold in order to earn $50,000 profit by dividing the level of sales by selling price.
