Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we assume no direct factory overhead costs (i. e., inventory carry costs) and $3 million dollars in combined promotion and sales budget, the Deal product manager wishes to achieve a product contribution margin of 35%.

Sales - variable cost = Fixed cost + profit

Here fixed cost = 3 million dollars

Sales - variable = contribution = 35%

35% should atleast meet the fixed cost

i. e. 35% = 3 million

100% = 8.57 million can be cost

Since fixed cost will not change and remain 3 million these 5,57 million can be given to material and labor costs

So material and labor cost should be limited upto 5.57 million increase.
