Answer:

The amount of dollar sales to be achieved to reach the goal is $343,438

Explanation:

We have the following details:

Fixed Cost = $ 38,600

Earning Required = $71,300

Hence Contribution Required= Fixed Cost+Earning Required

                                                   = ($38,600+$71,300)

                                                    = $ 109,900

We use then the following formula:

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

   32%= $ 109,900/Sales

           = $ 109,900/32%

           = $343,438. Amount of dollar sales to be achieved to reach the goal
