Respuesta :

The increase in pens that would be sold to justify this promotion from a contribution perspective is B. 20.08% more pens.

How to calculate the value?

The revised contribution will be:

= 0.2 - 1.196 = 0.996

The amount sold to maintain contribution will be:

= 299000/0.996 = 300201

The increase in volume will be:

= 50201/250000 × 100

= 20.08%
