    See explanation section.

    Explanation:

    Requirement 1

    At first we have to find the original net income.

    Shelhorse Corporation

    Contribution format income statement

    For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

    Sales Revenue (6,100 * $260) = $1,586,000

    Less: Variable expense (6,100 * $91) = $555,100

    Contribution Margin = $1,030,900

    Less: Fixed Expense $366,000

    Net Operating Income = $664,900

    Requirement 2

    As the marketing manager believes that a $23,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 150 unit increase in monthly sales, the new sales volume = 6,100 + 150 = 6,250 and new fixed expense = $366,000 + $23,000 = $389,000

    Shelhorse Corporation

    Contribution format income statement

    For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

    Sales Revenue (6,250 * $260) = $1,625,000

    Less: Variable expense (6,250 * $91) = $568,750

    Contribution Margin = $1,056,250

    Less: Fixed Expense = $389,000

    Net Operating Income = $667,250

    The effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change = $667,250 - $664,900 = $2,350
