Answer 1

	Case 1	Case 2	Case 3
Unit Sales	(8900+100)=9000	(8900-100)=8800	7900
Sales	(9000*32)=288,000	(8800*32)=281600	(7900*32)=252800
Variable expenses	(9000*19)=171,000	(8800*19)=167200	(7900*19)=150100
Contribution margin	117,000	114400	102700
Fixed expenses	54300	54300	54300
Revised net operating income	$62700	$60100	$48400.
