Answer 1

Answer:

An  increase in net operating income of $127,200

Explanation:

Consider the variable effect of the changes.

Sales ($400 x 400)                                    $160,000

Less Variable expenses ( $82 x 400)      ($32,800)

Contribution                                               $127,200

therefore,

An  increase in net operating income of $127,200
