Explanation / Answer

On saleof 11,000 tables

Selling price per unit                          $ 191

less : Variable Manufacturing cost            $ 117

         Variable Selling and Administrative cost $     9

                                                                       ----------         $ 126

                                                                                          ----------

contribution margin per unit    $ 65                                    

                                                                                          -----------

No of units sold                                                                  11000

Total contribution Margin                                                    $715000

                                                                                  ----------------

On sale of 9,760 units of tables,

Contribution margin - $65 x 9760 units                           $6,34,400

Loss of contribution being loss of operating income         $   80,600

Fixed cost need not be considered since on reduction of sale,the same amount of fixed cost would only be incurred.

The answer is,therefore, net operating income would have been $80,600 lower
