    (D) Operating income will increase by $27,300.

    Explanation:

    The sales increase will also generate an increase in the variable cost

    The fixed cost, remaing unchanged against the volume of production. they do not increase or decrease at the factory level.

    So the operating income will increase by the diffrence between sales and variable cost

    sales increase will be:

    779,000 x 10% = 77,900

    variable cost increase:

    506,000 x 10% = 50,600

    increase in operating income 77,900 - 50,600 = 27,300
