The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales $ 564,400

Variable expenses 312,800

Contribution margin 251,600

Fixed expenses 193,800

Net operating income $ 57,800

First, we need to calculate the new net operating income. Then, compare it to the old one and calculate the percentual change.

Sales= 564,400*1.19= 671,636

Variable expenses= (312,800*1.19)= (372,232)

Contribution margin= 299,404

Fixed expenses= (193,800)

Net operating income= 105,604

%change= (income 1 - income 0)/income 0

%change= (105,604 - 57,800)/ 57,800=  0.827= 83%
