sales revenue 119000
variable cost 21000
fixed cost 63000
operating profit 35000

sales revenue=7000*$17=$119000

variable cost=7000*$3=$21000

fixed cost=$63000

operating profit=$119000-$21000-$63000=$35000

variable cost 23100
fixed cost 56700
operating profit 39200

sales revenue=7000*$17=$119000

variable cost=7000*$3.3=$23100

variable costs per unit are 10 percent higher than projected, so unit price is $3.3(3*110%)

fixed cost=$56700

fixed costs for the year are 10 percent lower than projected, so fixed cost is $56700(63000*90%)

operating profit=$119000-$23100-$56700=$39200
