Sales (5,000 units) $205,000 Variable expenses 125,000 Contribution margin 80,000 Fixed expenses 62,400 Net operating income $17,600 If the company sells 5,400 units, its net operating income should be closest to: A. $19,008 B. $17,600 C. $24,000 D. $34,000 Selling price per unit = Sales ÷ Quantity sold = $205,000 ÷ 5,000 units = $41 per unit Variable expenses per unit = Variable expenses ÷ Quantity sold = $125,000 ÷ 5,000 units = $25 per unit Unit CM = Selling price per unit - Variable expenses per unit = $41 per unit - $25 per unit = $16 per unit Profit = (Unit CM × Q) - Fixed expenses = ($16 per unit × 5,400 units) - $62,400 = $86,400 - $62,400 = $24,000
