Increase in income = $5,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price $ 110,000 ($110)

Variable expenses 60,000 ($60)

Contribution margin 50,000 ($50)

Fixed expenses 30,000

Net operating income $ 20,000

The company is considering a reduction in the selling price by $10 per unit and an increase in the advertising budget by $5,000. This will increase sales volume by 50%.

Increase in income = unitary contribution margin * sales in units - new fixed costs

New Income = 40 * (1000*1.5) - 35,000 = 25,000

Increase in income = $5,000
