    Explanation:

    1-a : current net operating income: = (Sales x cm) - Fixed Expenses

    = (2000 x 27) - 30000 = 24000

    New Sales:

    (90x 2000) + 9000=189000

    Contribution Margin: = 18700

    189000 * 30% = 56700

    New net operating income: 56700 - (30000+5000)

    = 21700

    Decrease in net operating income = 2300

    1-b = No.
