Answer:

$36,000 increase

Explanation:

The computation of the  overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change is shown below:

Particulars               Current                   Proposed

Unit sales                   9,000 units             9,400 units

Sales                         $1,620,000              $1,692,000

                                (9,000 units × $180)    (9,400 units × $180)

less: variable cost     -$324,000               -$470,000

                               (9,000 units × $36)    (9,400 units × $50)

Contribution margin   $1,296,000            $1,222,000

Less: fixed cost           -$1,044,000           -$934,000

Net operating income   $252,000            $288,000

Hence, there is an increase in net operating income by

= $288,000 - $252,000

= $36,000
