    c. Yes, income will increase by $6,000

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    Sales revenue (3,000 * $14) $42,000

    Expenses:

    Direct materials (3,000 * $8) - $24,000

    Direct labor (3,000 * $3) - $9,000

    Variable manufacturing overheads (3,000 * $1) - 3,000

    Net income $6,000

    Since the net income is comes positive that reflects that the income would increased by $6,000
