a. $31,979
b. $32,500
c. $28,000
d. $30,500

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin per unit:

= Contribution margin ÷ No. of units sold

= 136,000 ÷ 6,800

= $20 per unit

If the company sells 6,700 units, then

Net operating income:

= Contribution margin - Fixed expenses

= (6,700 units × $20 per unit) - $103,500

= $134,000 - $103,500

= $30,500

Therefore, the net operating income of this company is closest to $30,500.
