C. $60

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $200,000 using the variable cost markup method

Using this formula

Contribution margin = (Selling price x Units produced) - Variable costs

Profit = Contribution - Fixed costs

Profit = $200,000

Fixed costs = $100,000

Variable costs = $300,000

$200,000 = Contribution -$100,000

Contribution=$200,000+$100,000

Contribution = $300,000

$300,000 = (Selling price x 10,000 units)-$300,000

Selling price=$300,000+$300,000/10,000 units

Selling price =$600,000 /10,000 units

Selling price = $60

Therefore the initial selling price that is needed to obtain a target profit of $200,000 using the variable cost markup method is $60

okay lol !
