Answer 1

Answer:

Effect on income= $2,000 decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $10 per unit.

Variable costs are $4 per unit

A move to a larger facility would increase rent expense by $8,000, and allow the company to meet its demand for an additional 1,000 units.

We need to calculate the effect in the income of moving to a larger facility.

Effect on income= total contribution margin increase - increase in fixed costs

Effect on income= 1,000*(10 - 4) - 8,000

Effect on income= $2,000 decrease
