Answer 1

Effect on income= $9,600 increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Unitary contribution margin= $90

The marketing manager believes that a $7,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales.

To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= increase in total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs

Effect on income= 190*90 - 7,500

Effect on income= 17,100 - 7,500

Effect on income= $9,600 increase
