C. The company will lose $22,000 on the job.

Explanation:

The computation of Income from Special order is shown below:-

Particulars Amount

Revenue from Special Order $32,000

Variable Costs:

Materials Cost $18,450

(45,000 * $0.41)

Labor Cost $21,600

(45,000 * $0.48)

Variable Overhead $13,950

(45,000 * $0.31)

Total Variable Cost $54,000

Income from Special order ($22,000)

(32,000 - 54,000)

Note:Fixed costs are irrelevant, since even if special orders are not accepted.
