Effect on income = $5,600 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

It costs Oriole Company $26 per unit ($18 variable and $8 fixed) to produce its product, which normally sells for $38 per unit. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 5600 units at $21 each. Oriole would incur special shipping costs of $2 per unit if the order were accepted.

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

Effect on income = (21-18 - 2) * 5,600 = $5,600increase
