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
