    The correct option is D

    Explanation:

    If the special order is accepted by the company then,

    Usually 3000 units are sold at $50 per unit

    = Units * Price Per unit

    = 3,000 * $50

    = $150,000

    But the wholesalers offers to pay $43 per unit

    = Units * Price per unit

    = 3,000 * $43

    = $129,000

    Operating Income = At price $50 per unit - At price $43 per unit

    = $150,000 - $129,000

    = $21,000

    Therefore, the operating income decreased by $21,000.
