    Decrease by $27000

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Contribution margin = 44000

    Initial fixed cost = 54000

    Final fixed cost = 37000

    Recall that

    Net operating income = Contrubution Margin - Net fixed cost.

    NOI = 44000 - (54000 - 37000)

    NOI = 44000 - 17000

    NOI = $27000

    Thus, Net operating income decreased by 27000.
