    The correct answer is C.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Target full product cost $500, 000 per year

    Actual fixed cost $280, 000 per year

    Actual variable cost $3 per unit

    Production volume 150, 000 units per year

    We can't lower the variable cost. Therefore, the cost reduction must be on fixed costs.

    Target cost = 500,000

    Variable cost = $3*150,000 units = 450,000

    Target fixed costs = 500,000 - 450,000 = $50,000
