    B) $480,000

    Explanation:

    In this question we compare the operating income

    In the first case,

    The operating income is

    = Contribution margin - fixed cost

    where,

    = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) * Expected sales units per year

    = ($100 - $45) * 20,000 units

    = $1,100,000

    And, the fixed cost is $420,000

    So, the operating income is

    = $1,100,000 - $420,000

    = $680,000

    In the second case,

    The operating income is

    = Contribution margin - fixed cost

    where,

    = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) * Expected sales units per year

    = ($100 - $45) * 20,000 units

    = $1,100,000

    And, the fixed cost is $420,000 + $200,000 = $620,000

    So, the operating income is

    = $1,100,000 - $620,000

    = $480,000
