Answer:
e. $14,000
Explanation:
Operating income for 15,000 units = Proportionate contribution - Fixed cost
Operating income for 15,000 units = [($24,000/12,000)*15,000] - $16,000
Operating income for 15,000 units = $30,000 - $16,000
Operating income for 15,000 units = $14,000
So, the operating income expected if the company produces and sells 15,000 units is $14,000.
