    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Variable costs per unit:

    Manufacturing $ 50

    Selling and administrative $ 20

    Special offer = 5,500 units for $170.

    To calculate the effect on income, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:

    Total contribution margin = 5,500 * (170 - 70) = $550,000
