    D) 135,000

    Explanation:

    The increase in net operating income would be

    = Contribution margin per unit * number of units sold - production fixed cost - selling fixed cost - expected drop in contribution margin

    = $130 * 2,500 units - $50,000 - $75,000 - $65,000

    = $325,000 - $50,000 - $75,000 - $65,000

    = $135,000

    The contribution margin per unit would be

    = Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

    = $304 - $125 - $49

    = $130
