Answer:

$10,000 increase in the net operating income

Explanation:

The computation of the overall impact is shown below:

= Change in contribution margin units - increase in the monthly advertising budget

= $17,100 - $7,100

= $10,000

The change in contribution margin units is computed below:

= New sales units × Contribution margin per unit

= 190 units × $90

= $17,100

And, the increase in the monthly advertising budget is a fixed expenses or fixed cost

Sales - variable cost = Contribution

Contribution margin - fixed expenses = Net operating income
