Answer:

profits will decrease by $1,220

Explanation:

Consider the Incremental Costs and Revenues that arise from accepting the offer.

Sales ( 4125 units×$10.40) 42,900

Direct materials and direct labor ( $ 165,000/16,500 ×4125 units) (41,250)

Variable Overheads (33,000×20%)/16,500 ×4125 units) (1,650)

Incremental Fixed overheads (640)

Incremental selling and administrative costs (580)

Incremental Income/(loss) (1,220)

Therefore profits will decrease by $1,220 if it accepts the offer.
