1. $44,160

2. $43,040

Explanation:

The formula to compute the net operating income is

= Total sales - variable cost - fixed expenses

where,

Contribution margin = Total sales - variable cost

1. Increased sales = Increased units * selling price per unit

= $7,040 units * $33 per unit

= $232,320

Variable cost = Increased units * variable cost per unit

= $7,040 units * $19 per unit

= $133,760

Fixed expenses = $54,400

Now operating income = $232,320 - $133,760 - $54,400

= $44,160

2. Decreased sales = Decreased units * selling price per unit

= $6,960 units * $33 per unit

= $229,680

Variable cost = Decreased units * variable cost per unit

= $6,960 units * $19 per unit

= $132,240

Fixed expenses = $54,400

Now operating income = $229,680 - $132,240 - $54,400

= $43,040
