Answer:

Option D is correct,​$22,900 net increase in operating income.

Explanation:

The formula for determining the effects of the salad plates being processed further is giving below:

increase/decrease in net income=sales value when processed further-sales value if sold at split-off point-the costs of further processing.

sales value when further processed=$19*3500=$ 66,500.00

sales value at split-off point=$10*3500=$35,000

additional costs of further processing =$8600

increase/(decrease) in operating income=$ 66,500.00-$35,000.00-$8,600.00=$ 22,900.00

The correct option is $ 22,900.00 net increase in operating income
