Answer:
-$5,500
Explanation:
The computation of the overall effect on the company net operating income is as follows:
New Variable cost per unit is
= $44 + $11
= $55
Now the new contribution margin per unit is
= $220 - $55
= $165
New unit Monthly sales is
= 7,000 units + 500 units
= 7,500
Now
New total contribution margin :
= 7,500 units × $165
= $1,237,500
And, the Current total contribution margin is
= 7,000 units × $176
= $1,232,000
So, the change would be
= $1,232,000 - $1,237,500
= -$5,500
