Accept, because operating income would increase $120,000

Explanation:

The computation of given situation is shown below:-

Sales = $22 * 10,000

= $220,000

Variable cost = $10 * 10,000

= $100,000

= Sales - Variable cost

= $220,000 - $100,000

Increase in operating income = $120,000

Therefore, the correct answer is Increase in operating income $120,000. So, the option is not available in the question.
