Incremental income is $ 229,840

Explanation:

Computation of additional income

Incremental Revenues from the order 68,000 units at $ 16.95 $ 1,152,600

Cost of Goods sold

Existing Cost of Goods sold $ 6.834,000

Less: Fixed Manufacturing overhead $ 1,380,000

Variable cost of goods sold $ 5,454,000

Existing production units 402,000

Variable Cost of goods sold per unit 13.57 per unit

Incremental cost of goods sold 68,000 * $ 13,57 $ 922.760

Incremental income $ 229,840

No increase is considered in fixed manufacturing overhead since it is fixed and sufficient capacity is available for the order. No incremental operating expenses is also envisaged as per then info in the question
