Answer 1

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage increase in income before income taxes is shown below:

Particulars             Current $             Increase at 15%         Revised $

Sales revenue      1350000                    202500                     1552500

Less: Variable cost    

Variable manufacturing 585000                 87750                  672750

Variable selling              40500                   6075                    46575

variable Admin              184500                   27675                  212175

Total variable cost         810000                  121500                931500

Contribution                   540000                  81000                  621000

Less: Fixed cost    

Manufacturing                  270000                       0                  270000

Selling                               54000                         0                  54000

Admin                              108000                         0                 108000

Net income                      108000                     81000               189000

Now percentage increase in income is

= (81000 ÷ 108000)

= 75%
