    Increase by $5,500.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the change in the operating income is shown below:

    Data given in the question

    Number of defective telephones = 600

    Cost = $9,000

    Scrap for each = $9

    Entire batch cost = $6,500

    Sale value per unit = $20

    Now in the case of defective telephones, the change in operating income is

    = 600 units * $20 - $6,500

    = $12,000 - $6,500

    = $5,500
