Based on the new cost of sales and the number of sales for the Goldin Corporation, the net operating income would b. increase by $4,000.

What is the current income?

= (Contribution margin x sales) - Flat salary

= (80 x 200) - 5,000

= $11,000

What is the new income?

= (80 Contribution margin - 20 per unit) x 200 units x 1.25 increase

= 60 x 200 x 1.25

= $15,000

The difference would be:
= 15,000 - 100,000

= $4,000 increase
