Respuesta :

Answer:

($2,400,000)

Explanation:

The computation of change in operating income is shown below:-

Operating income before = $380 - $320

= $60 per television

Total operating income = Operating income before per television × Television per year

= $60 × 150,000

= $9,000,000

New operating income = $360 - $320) × 165,000

= $40 × 165,000

= $6,600,000

Change in operating income = New operating income - Total operating income

= $6,600,000 - $9,000,000

= ($2,400,000)
