    Answer: Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Variable costs = $17

    Fixed costs to produce = $3

    Product sells = $25

    Homer Industries offers = 5,000 units

    Unit selling price = $19

    Shipping costs = $1.50 per unit

    Net profit = Unit selling price - Variable costs - Shipping costs

    = $19 - $17 - $1.50

    = $0.50

    Total increase in profit = 5000 units * Net profit

    = 5,000 * 0.50

    = $2,500
