Clemson Company is trying to determine whether or not to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Tams.

The fixed manufacturing overhead represents the costs of production facilities and equipment that the Tam product shares with other products produced by Clemson.

-Assume that discontinuing the Tam product would result in a $120,000 increase in the contribution margin of other product lines. How many Tams would have to be sold next year for the company to be as well off as if it just dropped the line and enjoyed the increase in contribution margin from other products?
