    A.$9,000

    Explanation:

    The increase in the Lyman company after tax profit shall be calculated as follows:

    Increase in credit sales $100,000

    Less:expenses for collecting sales ($15,000)

    (15%*$100,000)

    Less:Manufacturing and selling expenses ($70,000)

    (70%*$100,000)

    Profit before tax $15,000

    Less: taxation (40%*15,000) ($6,000)

    Profit after tax $9,000

    So based on the above calculations, the answer is A.$9,000
