    The company's profits will increase by $39,000.

    Revenues per unit from the new order is $14.

    The company has a total variable cost of $11.4 per unit.

    The new order quantity is 15,000.

    This results in a contribution margin of $2.6 per unit ($14 - $11.4).

    Since the order will not increase the company's fixed costs, the company's profits will increase to the extent of ($2.6 * 15,000).
