Explanation / Answer

In the given question the contribution margin (Sales Price - Variable Expenses) is $12 per Unit.

The Fixed Expenses will be the same irrespective of the number of units sold.

To arrive at the operating income at different sales level we need to multiply the number of units sold during the month by the contribution margin per unit and deduct the total fixed expenses for the month.

Hence the net operating income would be as follows:

1. When the monthly sales increases by 40 units.

Sales = 8100 + 40 = 8140.

Hence, total contribution = 8140 units x 12 per unit = $ 97,680

Less: Fixed Expenses   $ 54,600

Net Operating Income $ 43,080

2. When the monthly sales decreases by 40 units

Sales = 8100 - 40 = 8060.

Hence, total contribution = 8060 units x 12 per unit = $ 96,720

Less: Fixed Expenses    $ 54,600

Net Operating Income $ 42,120   

3. When the monthly sales is 7100 units

Hence, total contribution = 7100 units x 12 per unit = $ 85,200

Less: Fixed Expenses    $ 54,600

Net Operating Income $ 30,600
