Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 190 100 % Variable expenses 38 20 % Contribution margin $ 152 80 % Fixed expenses are $110,000 per month. The company is currently selling 1,400 units per month. Required: Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $48.

    The opearing income will increase by 71,200

    Explanation:

    ΔSales for 600

    ↓CM by 10 (38 Variable - 48 variable) = - 10

    First:

    We have 600 more of sale at this new CM

    ΔSales for 600 x Contribution Margin per unit 142 = Δ85,200

    Second:

    Our other units will have a decrease in their contribution

    1,400 x ↓CM (-10) = ↓-14,000

    Net 71,200

    The opearing income will increase by 71,200
