    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    When 250 snow cones are sold, each snow cone is estimated to have $.10 in variable costs and $.15 in fixed costs.

    Offer = 50 snow cones for $.25 each.

    Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity (I assume that the vendor sells 250 units), we will not take into account the fixed costs.

    Effect on income = 50 * (0.25-0.10) = $7.5 increase
