    The overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change is $40,960

    Explanation:

    New contribution margin ($154 - $11) = 143

    New unit monthly sales (9,800 + 320) = 10,120

    New total contribution margin (10,120 units * 143 per unit) = 1,447,160

    Present total contribution margin (9,800 units * 154 per unit) = 1,509,200

    Changes in total contribution margin = (62,040)

    Plus Savings in sales person's salaries = 103,000

    Change in net operating income $40,960
