    Answer and Explanation:

    Particulars Current Expected

    Sales $800,000 $837000

    ($200 * 4,000) ($200 - $14) * (4,000 + 500)

    Less:

    Variable expenses $160,000 $180,000

    ($40 * 4,000) ($40 * 4,500)

    Contribution margin $640,000 $657,000

    Less:

    Fixed expenses $531,000 $566,000

    ($531,000 + $35,000)

    Net operating income $109,000 $91,000

    As we can see that the net operating income is declined by $18,000 by taking a difference of current net operating income and expected net operating income
