    Option (c) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    No. of calculators manufacture = 1,120,000

    variable cost = $2,352,000

    Fixed cost = $1,232,000

    No. of calculators for the special order = 232,000

    Variable cost per unit:

    = Variable cost : No. of calculators manufacture

    = $2,352,000 : 1,120,000

    = $2.10 per unit

    Income (Loss) from special order:

    = Sales - Variable costs

    = (232,000 * $16 * 30%) - (232,000 * $2.10)

    = $1,113,600 - $487,200

    = $626,400
