    Income will increase in $72,200

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Comission = $10 per unit

    The decrease in fixed cost = $110,000

    Increase in sales = 520 units

    First, we need to determine the actual net operating income:

    Sales = 160*9,500 = 1,520,000

    Variable cost = 40*9,500 = (380,000)

    Contribution margin = 1,140,000

    Fixed costs = (1,036,000)

    Net operating income = $104,000

    Now, we can calculate the effect on income:

    Contribution margin = (9,500 + 520) * 120 = 1,202,400

    Fixed costs = (1,036,000 - 110,000) = (926,000)

    Variable marketing cost = (10,020*10) = (100,200)

    Net operating income = 176,200

    Income will increase in (176,200 - 104,00) = $72,200
