Answer:

Effect on income= $14,896 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs= 62% of sales

Current sales are $563,000

Fixed costs are $189,000.

Sales increase by $39,200.

To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= sales increase*contribution margin ratio

Effect on income= 39,200*(1 - 0.62)

Effect on income= $14,896 increase

Prove:

Actual income= 563,200*0.38 - 189,000= 25,016

New income= 602,400*0.38 - 189,000= 39,912

Difference= $14,896 increase
