Lamar · Answer 1

Effect on income = 4,289.25 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units sold = 7,525

Tax rate is 43 percent.

Increase in the selling price = $1

If all costs remain constant, we need to calculate the increase in contribution margin and the tax effect.

Effect on income:

Contribution marin = 7,525*1 = 7,525

Tax = 7,525*0.43 = (3,235.75)

Effect on income = 4,289.25 increase
