Ans. Net Change In Monthly Income on accepting the offer
Increase in Sales (8000 * $ 105) + $750000 = 1590000 Sale Value = Mat. + labour + Variable OH
Increase in Cost = 60+10+35 = 105
( Material + labour + Variable OH) * 8000
( 60 + 10 + 35 ) * 8000 = ( 840000 )
Increase in Monthly operating Income 750000
