The problem presented in Finnish asks for the *katetuottotavoite* per product, which translates to the contribution margin target per product. Let's break it down:

### Problem Details:
1. **Sales per month**: 550 products.
2. **Purchase cost per product**: 50 euros per unit.
3. **Fixed costs per month**: 6500 euros.
4. **Desired profit**: 1500 euros per month.
5. **Other variable costs**: None mentioned.

### What is asked:
**a) What is the contribution margin per product?**

### Solution:
The contribution margin (CM) per product can be calculated by adding the desired profit to the fixed costs and dividing the total by the number of units sold. This will give the required contribution margin per product.

The formula to calculate the contribution margin is:

\[
\text{Contribution Margin (CM) per unit} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs} + \text{Desired Profit}}{\text{Number of Units Sold per Month}} 
\]

Let's compute that:

\[
\text{CM per unit} = \frac{6500 \, \text{euros} + 1500 \, \text{euros}}{550 \, \text{units}} = \frac{8000 \, \text{euros}}{550 \, \text{units}} = 14.55 \, \text{euros/unit}
\]

### Therefore, the contribution margin per product needs to be **14.55 euros**.

Would you like further details or clarifications? Here are some related questions:

1. How is the selling price determined if the contribution margin is known?
2. What is the overall revenue required to achieve the desired profit?
3. How do fixed costs impact the break-even point?
4. How does a change in the purchase cost affect the contribution margin?
5. What happens if the sales volume decreases but the fixed costs stay the same?

**Tip**: Understanding the contribution margin helps you determine how much each product contributes to covering fixed costs and generating profit!
