A) Operating income decreases $5,000. C) Operating income increases $35,000. B) Operating income increases $60,000. D) Operating income decreases $36,000.

Explanation / Answer

31) B) Operating Income increases $60,000.

If a special sales order is accepted for 3,000 sails and fixed costs remain unchanged (as the production with the new order does not cross the total production capacity of 25,000), and also if there are no additional variable marketing and administrative costs for this order, the only relevant costs are the variable maufacturing costs per unit.

Selling Price $75 - $ Variable Manufacturing Cost $55 = $20; $20 x 3,000 sails = $60,000

Statement showing analysis of Profit & Loss:

Sales Value ($150 x 20,000) + ($75 x 3000) $3,225,000

Variable Costs:

Manufacturing ($55 x 23,000) ($1,265,000)

Marketing & Administrative ($25 x 20,000) ($500,000)

Total FIxed Costs:

Manufacturing ($640,000)

Marketing & Administrative ($280,000)

Operating Income $ 540,000

Operating Income for 20,000 sails = [20,000 x ($150 - $55 - $25)] - $640,000 - $280,000 = $ 480,000

Difference in Operating Income = + $ 60,000
