Explanation / Answer

Answer:-A)-Budgeted sales for 2016 =145600 units*$6.75 per unit =$982800

B)-Budgeted COGS for 2016=($640000/160000 units)*145600 units= $582400

C)-New operating income =$982800-$582400-$260000 =$140400

Kramer should increase the selling price because operating income increases from $60000 to $140400 for 2016.

Explanation:-

Sales (160000 units)=$960000

Selling price unit =$960000/160000 units =$6 per unit

Increased selling price =$6 per unit*112.5% = $6.75 per unit

New sales volume =160000 units*91% =145600 units
