Answer:

Effect on income= -$2,100

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Contribution margin $ 98

Increase in variable cost= $5

Increase in sales= 300 units

To determine the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= increase in contribution margin for new sales - increase in variable costs

Effect on income= 300*93 - 6,000*5

Effect on income= -$2,100
