Answer:
The net income will increase by $15,340 due to hiring of extra worker.
Explanation:
Salary of extra worker = $55,577
Extra production = 7,700 units
Selling price per unit = $13
Direct material per unit = $2.56
Direct labor per unit = $1.00
Variable overhead per unit = $0.23
Fixed overhead = $3.90. Due to extra production, fixed overhead will not increase.
Particulars Amount
Sales revenue (7,700 * 13) $100,100
Expenses:
Direct material (7,700 * $2.56) -$19,712
Direct labor (7,700 * $1.00) -$7,700
Variable overhead (7,700* 0.23) -$1,771
Salary of extra worker <u>-$55,577 </u>
Net income <u>$15,340</u>
Thus, due to hiring of extra worker net income income will increase by $15,340
