Answer:

$80,940,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimated sales volume in sales dollars that would generate an identical net income for the year ending December 31, 2020

First step is to calculate New Sales commission

New Sales commission = $79,500,000*8%

New Sales commission= 6,360,000

Second step is to calculate Cm ratio

Cm ratio = (79,500,000-6,360,000-33,390,000)/79,500,000 = 50%

Now let calculate the Estimated sales revenue

Estimated sales revenue = (8,670,000+10260000+ 10,159,000+$11,381,000)/.50 = $80,940,000

Therefore the estimated sales volume in sales dollars that would generate an identical net income for the year ending December 31, 2020 will be $80,940,000
