    Company must make sales of $600,000.

    Explanation:

    Compute the contribution margin of the company:

    Contribution margin=Pre-Tax Income+Fixed Cost

    =$60,000+$270,000

    =$330,000

    Thus, the contribution margin is $330,000. It is computed by summing up the fixed cost and the pre-tax income of the company.

    Compute the total sales of the company:

    Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

    55% = $330,000 / Sales

    Sales = $55% / $330,000

    =$600,000

    The sales of the company are $600,000.
