Answer:

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.
