    Option d is correct

    Increase in income $40,000

    Explanation:

    $

    Sales revenue from Order = (140 * 1,000) = 140,000

    Variable cost of order (100 * 1,000) = (100,000)

    Increase in income 40,000

    Note that the fixed costs of $480,000 was not include in the analysis. This is is so because it would be still incurred whether the order is accepted or not. Hence, it is irrelevant for this decision.
