Dorcan Corporation manufactures and sells T-shirts imprinted with college names and slogans. Last year, the shirts sold for $7.50 each, and the variable cost to manufacture them was $2.25 per unit. The company needed to sell 20,000 shirts to break-even. The after tax net income last year was $5,040. Donnelly's expectations for the coming year include the following: (CMA adapted)  ∙ The sales price of the T-shirts will be $10.  ∙ Variable cost to manufacture will increase by one-third.  ∙ Fixed costs will increase by 10%.  ∙ The income tax rate of 40% will be unchanged.  Based on a $10 selling price per unit and if Dorcan Corporation wishes to earn $37,800 in after tax net income for the coming year, the company's sales volume in dollars must be:     $257,625.     $213,750.     $207,000.     $255,000.
