    The correct answer is D.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    New injection molding equipment for a cost of $500,000.

    Increase in sales of 25%.

    The manufacturer currently makes 75 tons of clothespins per year, which sell at $18,000 per ton.

    First, we need to calculate the new sales level:

    New sales (units) = 75t * 1.25 = 93.75 tons

    Increase in sales (dollars) = (93.75 - 75) * 18,000 = $337,500
