Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable cost as a percent of sales:  

= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100  

= 60%

If Sales = X

then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)

Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income

X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000

0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000

X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4

  = 4,500,000
