Other than depreciation, all operating costs are variable. What is the new net income

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Unitary selling price= 500,000/100,000= $5

Operating expenses= $1

Depreciation= $20,000

New selling price= 5*1.1= $5.5

Sales in units= 100,000*0.95= 95,000

COGS rate= 0.62

To calculate the net income, we need to use the following structure:

Sales= 5.5*95,000= 522,500

COGS= 522,500*0.62= (323,950)

Gross profit= 198,550

Operating expenses= (95,000 + 20,000)= (115,000)

Net income= 83,550
