    b. $17.60

    Explanation:

    Last year's

    Contribution = $13.2 - $2.25 = 10.95

    Contribution margin = 10.95 / 13.20 = 0.83

    Coming Year

    Variable cost = 2.25 + (2.25 x 1/3) = $3.00

    Contribution = 28 - 3 = 25

    Contribution margin = Contribution / sale price

    According to given condition

    Selling price = Contributio + Variable cost

    100% = 0.83 + 0.17

    So,

    Seeling Price x 0.17 = Varibale cost

    Seeling Price = Varibale cost / 0.17

    Seeling Price = 3 / 0.17 = $17.65
