Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the current net operating income:

Net operating income= total contribution margin - fixed costs

Net operating income= 2,600*34 - 77,000

Net operating income= $11,400

Now, the Net operating income including the high-quality component:

Unitary contribution margin= 85 - 56= $29

Number of units= 2,600*1.2= 3,120

Net operating income= 3,120*29 - 77,000

Net operating income= $13,480

The company should use high-quality components. It will increase the net operating income by $2,080 (13,480 - 11,400).
