Answer 1

Answer:

The effect on net operating income would be an increase of $137,900

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price $85

Variable expenses per unit $ 35

If Price Paper spends an additional $12,100 on​ advertising, sales volume should increase by 3,000 units.

To calculate the effect on income, we need to determine the incremental total contribution, and deduct the incremental fixed costs:

Effect on income= 3,000*(85 - 35) - 12,100= $137,900
