    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Direct materials $ 20

    Direct labor 15

    Overhead (60% variable) 20

    Cost to manufacture $ 55

    The above cost information is based on 10,000 units.

    Parton currently sells 8,500 units for $62 per unit.

    A distributor has offered to buy 1,000 units for $50 per unit.

    We will have into account only the variable costs:

    Unitary variable cost = 20 + 15 + (20*0.60) = 47

    A) Increase in income = (50-47) * 1000 = $3,000

    B) Regular units = 3000 / (62 - 55) = 429 units
