Explanation:

For situation 1, we need to recalculate the no of units sold i.e.

35000 units * 113 % = 39,550 units, the rest of the information flows from the data in the question.

For situation 2, we need to recalculate the no of units sold i.e.

35000 units * 123 % = 43,050 units, we also need to change the selling price by $ 1.50 per unit, i.e.

$ 8 - $ 1.50 = $ 6.50 per unit

The rest of the information flows from the data in the question.

For situation 3, we need to make the following changes in the data assumptions.

Recalculate the no of units sold i.e. decrease of 3 %. so the new number of units are

35,000 units * 97 % = 33,950 units

increase in selling price by $ 1.50 per unit, thus the new selling price is

$ 8 + $ 1.50 per unit = $ 9.50 per unit

Increase in Fixed expense by $ 8,000, so the revised fixed costs are

$ 41,000 + $ 8,000 = $ 49,000

For situation 4 we need to make the following changes in the data assumptions.

Recalculate the no of units sold i.e. decrease of 5 %. so the new number of units are

35,000 units * 95 % = 33,250 units

increase in selling price by 20% per unit, thus the new selling price is

$ 8 * 120 %+  = $ 9.60 per unit

Increase in variable costs per unit by $ 0.10 per unit so the new variable cost is $ 5 + $ 0.10 = $5.10 per  unit
