    Financial advantage to the company will be $40000

    So option (a) will be the correct option

    Explanation:

    We have given that current sales value = $40000

    These calculators are upgraded at a total cost of $10000

    They can be sold for a total of $160000

    Incremental sales revenues from upgradng the calculators = ($160,000-$100,000) = $60,000.

    Hence financial advantage to the company would be = ($60,000-$40,000)

    So option (a) will be the correct option
