    Effect on income = $15,000 increase

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Offer = 15,000 bird feeders at $3.50 per unit.

    Production costs:

    $2.50 variable cost

    Because it is a special offer that won't affect actual sales and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.

    Effect on income = 15,000 * (3.5 - 2.5)

    Effect on income = $15,000 increase
