Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1) Number of unit sold in 2016 is  

As we know that

Total contribution margin is

= Fixed cost + Net income

= $153,200 + $574,100

= $727,300

And, the Contribution margin per unit is

= $153 - $93

= 60 per unit

So, the Number of unit sold in 2016 is

= $727,300 ÷ 60

= 12,122 Units

2) Number of unit sold is

= ($574,100 + $153,200 + $62,200) ÷ 60

= 13,158 Units

3) The selling price is  

Break even = (Fixed cost + Desired profit) ÷ Contribution margin

12,122 = ($574,100 + $153,200  + $622,00) ÷ (X - $93)

12,122X - $1,127,346 = $789,500

12,122X = $1,916,846

X(Selling price) = $1,916,846 ÷ 12122

= $158 per unit
