Selling and customer-service costs depend on the number of customers that the customer and service functions are designed to support. Sting Corporation has 100 customers in 2012 and 115 customers in 2013. The industry market size for high-end computer monitors increased 5% from 2012 to 2013. Required: a. What is operating income for 2012? b. What is operating income in 2013? c. What is the change in operating income from 2012 to 2013?
