    Income will increase by $5 per unit

    Explanation:

    The income effect in case of the order accepted is presented below:

    As we know that

    Additional sales per unit $32

    Direct material per unit $12

    Direct labor per unit $9

    And, the incremental variable overhead cost is $6 per unit

    Since the fixed cost is the same so it does not affect the effect on income

    So, the income effect would be

    = $32 - $12 - $9 - $6

    = $5 per unit

    Since the answer comes in positive which means there is an increase in income
