* The data was missing in this question, a similar question is attached with the answer, and answer is made accordingly. Please find it.

Sales  ( $350,000 x 120% )  =                     $420,000

- Variable cost ( 40% )  =                             $168,000

- Traceable fixed cost( 175000+15000) =  $190,000

Net Profit =                                                   $62,000

Net Increase in Net Income = $62,000 - ( 350,000 - (350,000 x 40%) - 175,000 ) = 27,000
