d. Yes, income will increase by $30,000

Explanation:

The net profit from this order = Revenue - all expense related = number of unit sold x (price per unit - cost per unit) =

6,000 boxes x (price $15 - Direct materials $6 - Direct labor $2 - Variable overhead $2 - Fixed overhead $3 but avoidable) = 6000 x (15-6-2-2-0) = $30,000
