    The company's income will increase by $14,000.

    Explanation:

    Cost of goods sold per unit excludes fixed manufacturing cost:

    ($145,000 - $30,000) / 10,000 = $11.5

    If the special order is accepted:

    Sales revenue of the special order = 4,000 x $15 = $60,000

    Cost of good sold of the special order = 4,000 x $11.5 = $46,000

    Fixed manufacturing cost does not change after the special order is accepted.

    Income from the special order = $60,000 - $46,000 = $14,000

    The company's income will increase by $14,000.
