Answer:

Increase by $5,975

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the profit

First step is to calculate the Direct Material and Direct labor per unit

Direct Material and Direct labor per unit=$100,000/16,000

Direct Material and Direct labor per unit=$6.25

Second step is to calculate the Relevant Variable Overhead

Relevant Variable Overhead = 20,000 * 20%

Relevant Variable Overhead= $4,000

Third step is to calculate the

Relevant Variable Cost per unit = $4,000 / 16,000

Relevant Variable Cost per unit= $0.25

Fourth step is to calculate the Total Relevant Variable cost per unit

Total Relevant Variable cost per unit = $6.25 + $0.25

Total Relevant Variable cost per unit= $6.5

Fifth step is to calculate the Relevant Contribution Margin per unit

Relevant Contribution Margin per unit = $8.05 - $6.5

Relevant Contribution Margin per unit= $1.55

Sixth step is to calculate the Total Contribution

Total Contribution = 4,500 * $1.55

Total Contribution= $6,975

Now let calculate the profit using this formula

Profit = Contribution - Fixed Cost

Let plug in the formula

Profit = $6,975 - $650 - $350

Profit = $5,975

Therefore If Benjamin accepts the offer, its profits will:Increase by $5,975
