    B. Decrease by $2,800

    Explanation:

    Direct labor incurred $185,000 for 10,000 units, then it is $18.5 per unit

    Direct materials used $160,000 for 10,000 units, then it is $16 per unit

    Variable manufacturing overhead $120,000 for 10,000 units, then it is $12 per unit

    Variable selling and administrative expenses $70,000 for 10,000 units, then it is $7 per unit

    Additional revenue from accepting a special order is $72,000 = 1,200 units x sale price of $60

    Additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs is $5,000

    Additional variable cost $64,200 = 1,200 units x ($18.5+$16+$7+$12)

    So net operating loss from special order is $2,800 = additional revenue of $72,000 - additional fixed cost of $5,000 - Additional variable cost of $64,000
