Accounting

Martin was a professional classical guitar player until a motorcycle accident left him disabled. After long months of therapy, he hired an experienced luthier (a maker of stringed instruments) and started a small shop to make and sell Spanish guitars. The guitars sell for $800, and the fixed monthly operating costs are as follows:
Rent and utilities
Wages and benefits to luthier $2,100
Other expenses
$471
Martin's accountant told him about contribution margin ratios, and Martin understood clearly that for every dollar of sales, $0.65 went to cover his fixed costs, and anything above that point was profit.
Martin wishes to earn $2,500 of operating profit each month. Calculate the number of guitars Martin will need to sell to achieve the target profit. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole guitar.)
A.5 guitars
B.12 guitars
C.3 guitars
D.10 guitars
