| Price per unit | 104.00 | X |
| Cost per unit | 47.00 | 47.00 |
| Credit cost per unit | - | 2.5%X |
| Unit sales per Month | 3,240.00 | 3,400.00 |
| Contribution per unit | 57.00 | Â |
| Contribution | 184,680.00 | Â |
| Return per period | 2.50% | Â |
| (x - 47 -2.5%x)3400 = 184,680 | Â | Â |
| .975X - 47)3400=184680 | Â | Â |
| .975X-47 = 54.32 | Â | Â |
| .975X = 101.32 | Â | Â |
| X=103.92 | Â | Â |
