D) 5182 glass vases

Explanation:

Contribution per glass vases:

$4.5 selling price - $ 1.75 variable cost= 2.75

Operating income:

29,000 units x $ 2.75 - $ 8,500 = $71,250 operating income

Target income is to obtain a 20% increase:

71,250 x (1 + 20%) = 85,500 target income:

units needed for target income:

(85,500 target income + 8,500 fixed cost) / 2.75 contribution per unit= 34.181,81

aditional glass vases needed for target income:

34,182 - 29,000 = 5,182
