A small business produces a single product and reports the following data:
$$\begin{array} { | l | r | r | }
\hline \text { Price } & \$ 8.00 & \text { per unit } \
\hline \text { Variable cost } & \$ 5.00 & \text { per unit } \
\hline \text { Fixed cost } & \$ 21,000 & \text { per month } \
\hline \text { Volume } & 10,000 & \text { per month } \
\hline
\end{array}$$
-
Fixed costs go up by $2,000 per month, and the price is raised by $0.20 per unit. Assume other factors remain the same. How would this change affect operating income?
