Andy Manufacturing produces a single product that sells for $80. Variable costs per unit equal $40. The company expects total fixed costs to be $82,000 for the next month at the projected sales level of 2,700 units.

Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The options are therefore provided to complete the question before answering the question as follows:

A) operating income will decrease by $14,494

B) operating income will increase by $9,266

C) operating income will decrease by $23,760

D) operating income will increase by $14,494

Note: See the attached excel file for the Determination of Operating Income BEFORE and AFTER the 11% reduction in the selling price using Contribution Format Income Statement.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Operating Income BEFORE 11% reduction in selling price = $26,00

Operating Income AFTER 11% reduction in selling price = $11,506

Decrease in operating income = Operating Income BEFORE 11% reduction in selling price - Operating Income AFTER 11% reduction in selling price = $26,00 - $11,506 = $14,494

Therefore, the correct option is A) operating income will decrease by $14,494.
