    Effect on income = $2,800 increase

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Variable manufacturing costs $90,000

    Unitary cost = (90,000/8,000) = $11.25

    Variable selling and administrative expenses 16,000

    Unitary Variable selling and administrative expenses = 16,000/8,000 = 2

    A foreign company whose sales will not affect Markson's market offers to buy 2,000 units at $15.50 per unit. In addition to variable manufacturing costs, selling these units would increase fixed overhead by $1,700 for the purchase of special tools.

    Because it is a special offer that will not affect the current sales, we will have into account the incremental fixed costs only.

    Effect on income = (2,000*15.5) - 2,000 * (11.25+2) - 1,700 = $2,800 increase.
