Answer:

$6,200 Increase

Explanation:

Given that,

Costs Marigold Company = $26 per unit

Fixed cost = $8

Variable cost = $18

Selling price = $38 per unit

Foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 6200 units at $21 each.

Shipping costs = $2 per unit

Effect on net income:

= Sales - Variable cost - special shipping cost

= (6,200 × $21) - (6,200 × $18) - (6,200 × $2)

= $130,200 - $111,600 - $12,400

= $6,200 Increase
