Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given selling price per unit = $300,000/5,000 units = $60
1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume
Selling price = $60 × 1.1 = $66
Sales revenue = $66 × 5,000 units = $330,000
Increase in sales revenue = $330,000 - $300,000 = $30,000
Here, as costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,000
2. Reduce variable cost to 56% of sales
New variable cost = $330,000 × 56% = $184,800
Saving in variable cost = $223,000 - $184,800 = $38,200
Here, as the fixed cost and sales revenue remains the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $38,200
3. Reduce fixed cost by $18,000
As the variable cost and sales revenue remains the same, net income will increase as much as the savings in fixed cost which is $18,000
