A. Increase by $109,000 B. Decrease by $109.000 C. Increase by $124,000 D. Increase by $233,000

Answer :

     a) Increase by  $109,000

Explanation:

The relevant cost for decision to accept the special order are

I. the incremental contribution from of producing 3,100 units

2. The incremental fixed cost- 15,000

Note that whether or not the special order is accepted the manufacturing and Marketing and administrative fixed cost of   790,000 200,000 would be incurred either way.

Contribution per unit =Selling price - Variable cost

                                  = $330 - (250+40) = $40

Incremental contribution = $40 × 3,100 =  $124,000

Operating income would increase by = $124,000 -$ 15,000

                                                           = $109,000
