Answer:

D. $265,000

Explanation:

As we know that,

Net income = Sales revenue - variable cost - fixed cost

where,

Sales revenue equals to

= Selling price per unit Ă— Unit sales per month

= $450 Ă— 2,000 kayaks

= $900,000

Fixed cost = $475,000

Net income equals to

= Assets Ă— profit percentage

= $1,000,000 Ă— 16%

= $160,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

$160,000 = $900,000 - variable cost - $475,000

$160,000 = $425,000 - variable cost

So, the target variable cost would be

= $425,000 - $160,000

= $265,000
