    Decrease by $10,200

    Explanation:

    The effect on income is shown below:-

    If produce from If component purchased

    Ortega Industries from outside

    Number of Components

    produced 21,300 21,300

    Total cost incurred $1,014,000 $1,024,200

    (21,300 * $34) + $300,000

    Difference = $1,014,000 - $1,024,200

    = - $10,200
