$206,700 increase

$70,200 increase

$136,500 decrease

$136,500 increase

Explanation / Answer

1) Contribution margin per unit = 18-10 = 8 per unit

Contribution margin ratio = 8*100/18 = 44.44%

so answer is c) 44% and $8 per unit

2) Operating profit = Contribution margin-fixed cost

= (988000*32%)-208000

Operating profit = 108160

so answer is d) $108,160

3) Contribution margin per unit = 46-33 = 13 per unit

Operating income change = 5400*13 = 70200

so answer is b) $70,200 increase
