    The change in revenue (differential revenue from the acceptance of the offer) will be $ 471600

    Explanation:

    The revenue represents the total sales of the product, regardless of the costs, then If the company produced initially Q units the initial revenue will be

    Initial Revenue=total sales = P₁*Q₁

    - Since the offer does not alter the domestic sales prices P₁, the price P₁ remains constant.

    - Since the sales does not affect normal production, the quantity sold to the domestic market Q₁ is also not affected (i don't need to resign units to the domestic market to sell to the exporter)

    then

    New revenue = Revenue from the exporter + Revenue from the domestic market = Revenue from the exporter + Initial revenue

    where Revenue from the exporter=P₂*Q₂, P₂ = price sold to the exporter and Q₂ = units sold to the exporter

    therefore the change in revenue will be

    Change in Revenue = New revenue - Initial Revenue = Revenue from the exporter

    Change in Revenue=P₂*Q₂=$18 / unit * 26200 unit = $ 471600

    Note:

    The profit represents the revenue, taking into account the costs. Then the change the initial profit will be

    initial profit = P₁*Q₁ - (CF+CV*Q₁)

    the New profit

    New profit = P₂*Q₂ + P₁*Q₁ - [CF+CV * (Q₂+Q₁) ]

    and the change in profit

    change in profit = New profit - initial profit = P₂*Q₂ + P₁*Q₁ - [CF+CV * (Q₂+Q₁) ] - [P₁*Q₁ - (CF+CV*Q₁) ] = P₂*Q₂ - CV*Q₂ = (P₂ - CV) * Q₂ = ($18 / unit - $12 / unit) * 26200 unit = $ 156000
