1. $30,500;

2. $30,000;

3. $22,000;

=> Option 1 produce the highest net income.

Explanation:

We have sell price per unit = 305K /5K = $61

1.  Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume:

Sell price = 61 x 1.1 = $67.1

Sales revenue = 67.1 x 5,000 = $335,500

Increase in sales revenue = 335.5K - 305K = $30,500

As costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,500.

2.  Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales:

New variable cost = $305,000 x 60% = $183,000

Saving in variable cost = 213K - 183K = $30,000

As fixed cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $30,000

3. Reduce fixed costs by $22,000:

As variable cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in fixed cost which is $22,000
