Computate Inc. produces microprocessors for laptops. Last year,
the company recognized revenues of $4,000,000. Total costs for the
period were $2,000,000, of which $500,000 were fixed.
If sales were to increase by $150,000, by how much would Computate
’s operating income increase?
Answer : Increase in Operating Income = $ 93,750 ( Answer)
Operating Income = Sales Revenue - Total Cost = 4,000,000 -2,000,000 =$2,000,000
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
Fixed Cost = $500,000
Variable Cost = $ 1500,000
Variable Cost Ratio = Variable coat / Sales = 1500,000/4000,000 = 37.5 %
Sales increase by $150,000
Total Sales = 4150,000
Total Varaible Cost ( 4150,000*37.5%) =1,556,250
Total Fixed Cost = 500,000
Operating income = 2,093,750
Increase in Operating Income = $2,093,750 -$2,000,000 = $ 93,750 (Answer)
