Revenue effect of the price-recovery component = (650 - 600)x 62,500 = $3,125,000 F
Units of input required to produce 2018 output in 2017 = (152,000 / 59,000)x 62,500 = 161,250
Cost effect of price-recovery for direct materials = ($68 - $60)x 161,250 = $1,290,000 U
Cost effect of price-recovery for conversion costs = ($107 - $100)x 62,900 = $440,300 U
Cost effect of price-recovery for selling and customer-service costs =
 11ea8a5a_a11c_2f94_a19c_499fb959f964_TB5540_00_TB5540_00_TB5540_00 Cost effect of the price-recovery component = $1,290,000 U + $440,300 U + $102,000 U = $1,832,300 U
Net effect on operating income as a result of the price-recovery component
= $3,125,000 F + $1,832,300 U = $1,292,700 F
