    The answer is: an increase of $1,397.50

    Explanation:

    First we have to calculate the net income for the original sale price per unit of $84 and then subtract the depreciation expenses and taxes to calculate the operating cash flow:

    total revenue (2,150 x $84) $180,600

    cost of goods sold (2,150 x $57) ($122,550)

    SG&A, operating expenses ($13,900)

    net income $44,150

    depreciation expense ($8,300)

    EBIT $35,850

    taxes (35%) ($12,547.50)

    operating cash flow $23,302.50

    Then we calculate the new net income for the second sale price per unit of $85 and then subtract the depreciation expenses and taxes to calculate the new operating cash flow:

    total revenue (2,150 x $85) $182,750

    cost of goods sold (2,150 x $57) ($122,550)

    SG&A, operating expenses ($13,900)

    net income $46,300

    depreciation expense ($8,300)

    EBIT B $38,000

    taxes (35%) ($13,300)

    operating cash flow B $24,700

    An increase of $1 in the selling price will result in an increase of $1,397.50 on the operating cash flow.
