Solution

To answer this question, we need to calculate the change in profit if Cornish Company accepts the offer.

First, let's calculate the total revenue from the offer: 3,000 units * 17.00/unit=17.00/unit = 51,000

Next, let's calculate the total variable cost for these 3,000 units: (Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead) * 3,000 units = (4.00/unit+4.00/unit + 6.00/unit + 2.00/unit)3,000units=2.00/unit) * 3,000 units = 36,000

Then, let's calculate the total additional fixed costs: Fixed overhead + Fixed selling and administrative costs = 600+600 + 900 = $1,500

Now, let's calculate the change in profit: Change in profit = Total revenue - Total variable cost - Total additional fixed costs = 51,00051,000 - 36,000 - 1,500=1,500 = 13,500

Therefore, if Cornish accepts the offer, its profits will increase by 13,500.So,thecorrectansweris"Increaseby13,500. So, the correct answer is "Increase by 13,500".
