Daniella · Answer 1

incremental income of $ 500 will result from the special offer.

Explanation:

Consider the incremental costs and revenues resulting from accepting the special offer.

Sales (100*$275) 27,500

Variable cost (100*$250) (25,000)

Special Stitching (100*$20) (2,000)

Net Income/Loss 500

Therefore an incremental income of $ 500 will result from the special offer.
