Need help figuring out part 2 of following question; I tried calculating it in excel but another student got a different answer, so I'm wrong. "If the company wishes to increase its total dollar contribution margin by 30% in 2020, by how much will it need to increase its sales if selling price per unit, variable price per unit and total fixed costs remain constant? total increase in sales required: ???"
