Question

Accounting

The company's contribution format income statement for 2020 is given below:

$

Sales (20,000 phones)

1,200,000

Variable expenses

900,000

Contribution margin

300,000

Fixed expenses

240,000

Net operating income

$ 60,000

Refer to the original income statement for 2020 above. In an effort to increase sales and profits, management is considering the use of a higher quality speaker in the phones. With the higher quality speaker, the variable costs would be $3 more per unit, but management could eliminate one quality inspector who is paid a salary of $30,000 per year. The sales manager estimates that the higher quality speaker would increase annual sales by at least 20%.
