Answer:

See explanation section.

Explanation:

Requirement 1

At first we have to find the original net income.

                              Shelhorse Corporation

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,100 × $260) = $1,586,000

Less: Variable expense (6,100 × $91) = $555,100

Contribution Margin = $1,030,900

Less: Fixed Expense  $366,000

Net Operating Income = $664,900

Requirement 2

As the marketing manager believes that a $23,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 150 unit increase in monthly sales, the new sales volume = 6,100 + 150 = 6,250 and new fixed expense = $366,000 + $23,000 = $389,000

                          Shelhorse Corporation

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,250 × $260) = $1,625,000

Less: Variable expense (6,250 × $91) = $568,750

Contribution Margin = $1,056,250

Less: Fixed Expense  = $389,000

Net Operating Income = $667,250

The effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change =  $667,250 - $664,900 = $2,350
