    Increase of $7,500

    Explanation:

    Consider the Incremental Costs and revenues arising from acceptance of the offer.

    Note : Fixed Costs will not increase as the offer is within the capacity of Marx Company and are therefore irrelevant for this decision.

    Sales (15,000*$1.00) $15,000

    Less variable costs (15,000*$0.50) ($7,500)

    Net Income $7,500

    Therefore an increase of $7,500 is expected in profits if Marx Company accepts the order

    Effect on income = 7,500 increase

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Variable costs are $0.50 per unit.

    Current monthly sales are 183,000 units.

    Heaven Company has contacted Marx Company about purchasing 15,000 units at $1.00 each.

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

    Sales = 15,000*1 = 15,000

    Variable cost = 15,000*0.5 = (7,500)

    Effect on income = 7,500 increase
