The answer is 240.000

Explanation:

In this case you have to draft the first scenario and then calculate the new scenario with the given information

units price/cost total

Revenue 100,000.00 10.00 1,000,000.00

Variable expenses 100,000.00 6.00 (600,000.00)

Contribution margin 100,000.00 4.00 400,000.00

Fixed expenses (300,000.00)

Net income 100,000.00

then calculate the new revenue

New price is = (price * (1+selling price increase)) = 10*1.2 = 12

Calculate the expected units

Expected units = (actual units sold * (1-decrease in sales) = (100.000 * (1-0.1)) = 90.000

Revenue 90,000.00 12.00 1,080,000.00

Variable expenses 90,000.00 6.00 (540,000.00)

Contribution margin 90,000.00 6.00 540,000.00

Fixed expenses (300,000.00)

Net income 240,000.00
