$17,000 increase

Explanation:

As per the given question the solution is provided below:-

For reaching the change in income if the special order is accepted we need to follow some steps which are as follows:-

Step 1

Variable manufacturing cost per unit = Variable manufacturing costs ÷ Sale units

= $240,000 ÷ 24,000

= $10

Step 2

Cost related with special order = Number of units × Variable manufacturing cost per unit

= 3,400 × $10

= $34,000

Step 3

Income from special order = Number of units × Selling price

= 3,400 × $15

= $51,000

Therefore the Change in income if special order is accepted = Income from special order- Cost related with special order

= $51,000 - $34,000

= $17,000 increase

d. None of the answers is correct the right answer is $17,000 increase.

To reach the change in income if special order is accepted we simply put the values into formula.
