$570,000

Explanation:

The calculation of amount of sales is shown below:-

Contribution = $520,000 × 40%

= $208,000

Fixed cost = Contribution - Profit

= $208,000  - $70,000

= $138,000

Revised fixed cost for next year = Fixed cost + Increased Fixed expenses

= $138,000 + $10,000

= $148,000

Amount of sales = (Profit + Fixed cost) ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= ($148,000 + $80,000) ÷ 40%

= $228,000 ÷ 40%

= $570,000

i believe that it is a 45% chance.
