Answer:

d) $24,500

Explanation:

At an operating volume of 6,500 units, if the total contribution margin is $130,000, the contribution margin per unit is:

[tex]CM_U=\frac{CM}{n}=\frac{130,000}{6,500}=\$20[/tex]

Net operating income is given by the total contribution margin minus fixed expenses. If fixed expenses are $103,500, for an operating volume of 6,400 units, net operating income is:

[tex]N=(CM_U*n)-F\\N=(\$20*6,400)-\$103,500\\N= \$24,500[/tex]

If the company sells 6,400 units, its net operating income is $24,500.
