The advertising budget should be approved since it would lead to an increase in net operating income of 20000.

2.Change In Variable Cost and Sales Volume According to the original data SHABBIR CORPORATION currently selling 1000 tape recorders per month. The management is now considering the use of higher quality components which would increase variable cost by Rs.50 and there by reduce the contribution margin by Rs.50 per tape recorder. However the manager predicts that it increases sales to 1500 per month. The Rs.50 increase in the variable cost will decrease the unit contribution margin by Rs.50

Expected total contribution margin with higher quality components 1500 tape recorders x 150 per tape recorder = 225000

Present total contribution margin 1000 tape recorders x 200 per tape recorder = 200000

Increase in total contribution margin
