Answer:

  2500 more units

Explanation:

The after-tax contribution margin per unit is ...

  $32 - 25%×$32 = $32 -8 = $24

To increase the after-tax income from $240,000 to $300,000, an increase of ...

  $300,000 -240,000 = $60,000

is required. If each unit contributes $24 in after-tax income, then the number of additional units required is ...

  $60,000/($24/unit) = 2500 units

The firm must sell 2500 more units to make the desired increase in after-tax income.
