Effect on income = $5,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A company sells a product for $800 per unit. The variable expenses are $500 per unit, and fixed expenses total $40,000 per month. If the company spends $10,000 more each month for advertising and is able to sell 50 additional units per month.

Effect on income = contribution margin * increase in units - advertising

Effect on income = (800 - 500) * 50 - 10,000 = $5,000
