Answer: $21000
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we calculate the contribution margin which will be:
=Sales – Variable cost
= $50,000 – $20,000
= $30,000
Therefore, the contribution margin per unit will then be:
= $30,000 / 12500
= $2.4 per unit
The operating income will be the difference between the total contribution margin and the fixed cost. This will be:
The total Contribution margin will be:
= $2.4 × 15000
= $36000
Fixed costs = $15000
Operating income = $36000 – $15000
= $21,000
