2.A . Net operating income increase by $4000
Current net operating income = contribution margin - fixed cost
Contribution margin = contribution per unit * total number of units sold
4000 units * $24 = $96000
Fixed cost = $75000
Net operating income = $96000-75000= $21000
If higher quality equipment is used then
New contribution margin = Sales - new variable cost
New variable cost = ($51+4)= $55
New contribution margin per unit = sale - new variable cost
$75- 55= $20
Total number of units sold according to new plan
4000 units + 25% of 4000 units= 4000+1000= 5000 units
Total contribution of high quality equipment is used
5000 units *$20= $100000
Net operating income = $100000-75000(fixed cost)= $25000
Increase in net operating income if high quality equipment is used = $25000-21000= $4000
Net operating income increase by $4000
2.B Yes company should use higher quality equipment because it will increase net operating income by $4000 as calculated in part 2.A
