    5,000

    Explanation:

    Variable cost per unit = $250

    Sales price would be set at twice the VC/unit

    Therefore, Sales price = 2 * $250

    = $500

    Fixed costs = $750,000

    If operating income of $500,000 or more is expected

    Let the sales volume be y, then

    500y - 750,000 - 250y = 500,00

    250y = 750,000 + 500,000

    250y = 1,250,000

    y = 1,250,000/250

    y = 5,000

    Minimum sales volume to have an operating income of $500,000 or more is 5,000.
