Thomas Dunlap · Answer 1

B) Operating income will increase by $7,500

Explanation:

First we calculate contribution per unit which would be as follows:

Sale price per unit - Variable price per unit = Contribution price unit

40 - 25 = $15 per unit

Then we multiple it by the additional increase in units of 2,500.

15 * 2,500 = $37,500

Finally, we subtract it with the cost incurred for additional spending.

37,500 - 30,000 = $7,500

Hence, the impact of the decision would mean the income has increased by $7,500 in comparison to the expenses incurred.

The correct answer is B.

Total fixed expenses $832,500

Sale price per unit 40

Variable expenses per unit 25

If the company spends an additional $30,000 on advertising, sales volume would increase by 2,500 units.

Effect on income = 2,500 * (40 - 25) - 30,000 = $7,500
