    An increase in the fixed costs would increase the total cost of goods sold, and there for reducing the operation income. In our case the operating income=$76,200

    Explanation:

    The formula for the operating income can be expressed as;

    Operating income=Total revenue from sales-cost of goods sold

    where;

    Total revenue from sales=price per unit*number of units sold

    price per unit=32

    number of units sold=2,800

    Total revenue from sales = (32*2,800) = $89,600

    Cost of goods sold=total fixed cost+total variable cost

    Total fixed cost=$5,000

    total variable cost=cost per unit*number of units

    total variable cost = (3*2,800) = $8,400

    Cost of goods sold=5,000+8,400=$13,400

    Operating income=89,600-13,400=$76,200

    An increase in the fixed costs would increase the total cost of goods sold, and there for reducing the operation income. In our case the operating income=$76,200
