    they need to limit the material and labor costs to $22.75

    Explanation:

    given data

    combined promotion = $3 million

    contribution margin ratio = 35%

    Selling price = $35 per unit

    to find out

    what would they need to limit the material and labor costs to

    solution

    we get here Contribution margin per unit that is express as

    Contribution margin per unit = $35 * 35%

    Contribution margin per unit = $12.25 per unit

    and Variable cost will be

    Variable cost = $35 - $12.25

    Variable cost = $22.75 per unit

    and we know Variable cost is also express as

    Variable cost = Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs + Direct factory overheads ... 1

    here direct factory overheads is 0 and Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs is $22.75

    so put in equation 1

    Variable cost = $22.75 + 0 = $22.75

    so we can say that they need to limit the material and labor costs to $22.75
