Operating Income Statement

Particular Existing New order Total

Current selling 25,000 5,700 30,700

Selling price per unit $185 $160

Manufacturing variable cost per unit $60 $60

Selling and administrative variable cost per unit $20 $20

Contribution margin per unit(CMPU)= $105 $80

(sale price - variable cost)

Contribution margin $2,625,000 $456,000 $3,081,000

(sale units × CMPU)

Manufacturing fixed cost $700,000 $700,000

Selling and administrative fixed cost $250,000 $250,000

Net operating income $1,675,000 $2,131,000

Increase in operating income = $2,131,000 - $1,675,000
