$58,800

Explanation:

Total variable costs:

=  Direct material + Direct manufacturing labor + Manufacturing overhead + Selling costs

= $ 7.00 + $1.45 + 0.95 + 2.50

= $11.9

Currently:

Net operating income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

                                = ($30 × 16,000) - ($11.9 × 16,000) - $140,000

                                = $480,000 - $190,400 - $140,000

                                = $149,600

Now:

Net operating income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

                                    = [$30(1-0.1225)] × 16,000 - ($11.9 × 16,000) - $140,000

                                    = $421,200 - $190,400 - $140,000

                                    = $90,800

Hence,

Decrease in net operating income = ($149,600 - $90,800)

                                                           = $58,800
