Answer:

Income will decrease by $36,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

New selling price= 200*0.8= $160

New sales in units= 2,000*1.2= 2,400 units

Variable cost per unit= $50

Fixed costs= $120,000

First, we determine the current operating income:

Current income= 2,000*(200 - 50) - 120,000

Current income= $180,000

Now, the new income:

New operating income= 2,400*(160 - 50) - 120,000

New operating income= $144,000

Income will decrease by $36,000.
