Answer 1

$3,762

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is as seen below

Total cost when the production is 9,900 units

Direct materials $8,316

Direct labor $11,187

Variable overhead $12,474

Total $31,977

But,

Their new cost on supplier offer is

= $2.85 × 9,900 units

= $28,215

In the case when the order is accepted, the net income would increase by

= $31,977 - $28,215

= $3,762
