Particulars                                                $

Sales                                                    315,000

Less: Variable expenses                   (216,000)

Contribution Margin                             99,000

Less: Fixed costs                                (70,800)

Net Income                                          28,200

Since the selling price increased by 10% and no change in variable costs and volume, therefore, we can get -

Sales = $315,000 x (1 + 0.10) = $346,500

In this case, the net income will be as follows:

Sales                          = $346,500

Less: Variable Costs =  (216,000)

Contribution Margin  =   130,500

Less: Fixed Costs      =   (70,800)

Net Income                =   59,700
