    Model A12 = 4,354 units Model B22 = 2,214 units Model C124 = 812 units

    Explanation:

    We must first find the contribution margin for the 3 models:

    A12: $51 - $41 = $10

    B22: $109 - $80 = $29

    C124: $403 - $321 = $82

    Then we can solve the following equation:

    0.59X (10) + 0.3X (29) + 0.11X (82) = $174,316

    5,9X + 8.7X + 9.02X = $174,316

    23.62X = $174,316

    X = $174,316 / 23.62 = 7380

    We need to sell the following quantities per model (final units have been rounded up):

    Model A12 = 4,354 units ( = 59% X 7,380)

    Model B22 = 2,214 units ( = 30% X 7,380)

    Model C124 = 812 units ( = 11% X 7,380)
