The correct answer is C: $13,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (6,000 units) $ 300,000

Variable expenses 240,000

Contribution margin 60,000

Fixed expenses 59,000

Net operating income $ 1,000

Selling price = (300000/6000) = $50

Unitary variable cost = 240000/6000 = $40

Unitary contribution margin = 10

Now:

Selling price = 53

Q = 5600

Unitary contribution margin = 10 + 3 = 13

Net operating income:

Contribution margin = 5400*13=$72,800

Fixed expense = 59000

Net operating income = 13800
