Q 19.22: Portland and Hadley operate in the same industry. Portland's sales, variable costs, and fixed costs are $1,000,000, $700,000, and $100,000, respectively. Hadley's sales, variable costs, and fixed costs are $1,000,000, $400,000, and $400,000, respectively. If each company experiences an equal increase or decrease in sales, Hadley's income will

Go up or down by the same amount as Portland’s because both companies have equal net income

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

A: Go up twice as much as Hadley’s, but go down only half as much as Portland’s.

B: Go up or down twice as much as Portland’s.

C: Go up or down by the same amount as Portland’s because both companies have equal net income.

D: Go up or down half as much as Portland’s.

Income = Revenue - total costs

total costs = fixed costs + variable cost

For Portland

$1,000,000 - ($700,000 + $100,000) = $200,000

For Hadley :

$1,000,000 - ($400,000 + $400,000) = $200,000

If each company experiences an equal increase or decrease in sales, Hadley's income will increase and decrease as much as Portland's because both companies have equal net income
