(WZCP) operates a successful retailing business for customers looking for Cajun cookbooks and spices. WZCP is now considering a new product line: Cajun and Zydeco music. The company's current financials are as follows:

Cookbooks Spices
Sales 8000 2000
Variable Expense 3200 1200
Contribution Margin 4800 800
Fixed Expenses 1500 300
Net Income 3300 500

The new Music Division would generate new sales of $1,500 (variable expenses = 75% of sales, and fixed expenses = $800). The new division would also affect the existing divisions: (1) Cookbook sales would increase 7.50%, and (2) Spices sales would increase 15.0%.

If WZCP ADDS the Music Division, compute the impact on total company net income.
