    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Aloha Swimwear has received a special order for 3,250 bikinis for $60 each.

    Variable costs:

    direct labor = $8.50

    direct materials = $15.75

    variable overhead = $3.75

    Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

    Total variable cost per units = $28

    The effect on income will equal the total contribution margin:

    Total contribution margin = 3,250 * 60 - 3,250*28 = $104,000 increase
