Answer: decrease by $31,875
Explanation:
Net Operating income;
= Sales - variable cost - fixed cost
= (70 * 3,000) - ( 50 * 3,000) - 25,000
= $35,000
Sales volume decreases by 25%;
= 3,000 * ( 1 - 25%)
= 2,250 units
Variable cost per unit increases by 15%;
= 50 * ( 1 + 15%)
= $57.50
New Net Operating income;
= (70 * 2,250) - (57.50 * 2,250) - 25,000
= $3,125
Net Operating income change;
= 3,125 - 35,000
= -$31,875
Decrease by $31,875
Answer:
'Retained income'.
Explanation:
We have been given that Crawford Fishing had a net income of $35,640 in 2017. They decided to pay $3,000 in dividends and keep the rest to help expand their production line.
We know that the net income that remains after paying dividends is known as 'Retained income'.
We also know that retained income can be used to pay off debts or it can be invested into business activities.
Therefore, the profit that Crawford Fishing keep to reinvest in the business is recorded as retained income.
