If Cheong decides to outsource, monthly operating income will ___

Respuesta :

Answer: Monthly operating income will decrease by $5400.

Explanation:

Volume = 1200 units per month

Variable cost per unit = $11.50 per unit

Fixed costs = $10,000 per month

Since Cheong decides to outsource, the monthly operating income will be calculated thus:

= Volume × (Cost of ready made units - Variable cost per unit)

= 1200 × (16 - 11.50)

= 1200 × 4.50

= $5400

Therefore, the monthly operating income will decrease by $5400.
