    c. $112,800

    Explanation:

    The computation of operating income is shown below:-

    = (Contribution margin of blink division * Increase sales percentage) - Fixed cost of blink division - Allocated common costs of blink division - Allocated common costs of blur division

    = ($218,000 * 135%) - $93,000 - $48,000 - $40,500

    = $294,300 - $93,000 - $48,000 - $40,500

    = $112,800
