Atlas Corporation sells 100 bicycles during a month. The contribution margin per bicycle is $200. The monthly fixed expenses are $8,000. What is the profit from the sale of 100 bicycles?
Profit = (marginal cost x quantity of bicycles) - expenses 12,000=(200 x 100) -8000
The profit graph is based on the following linear equation:
Profit = Unit CM x Q - Fixed Expenses.
Walton Corporation is currently selling 104 units of its product. The company is deciding the price that it should charge for a bulk order of 40 units. The variable cost per unit is $200. This order will not involve any additional fixed costs and the company's current sales will not be affected. The company targets a profit of $4,000 on the bulk order. What selling price per unit should the company quote for the bulk order? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

The current sales of Trent, Inc., are $400,000, with a contribution margin of $200,000. The company's degree of operating leverage is 2. If the company anticipates a 30% increase in sales, what is the percentage change in net operating income for Trent, Inc.?
