Answer: Net income would increase by $6,230
Explanation:
Cost if offer is not accepted and Crane produces inhouse;
= 7,140 + 9,605 + 10,710 + 16,200
= $43,655
Cost if Crane accepts offer;
Crane could avoid $3,000 of fixed overhead = 16,200 - 3,000 = $13,200
Purchase price = 2.85 * 8,500 units = $24,225
Total cost = 24,225 + 13,200
= $37,425
Difference = 43,655 - 37,425
= $6,230
<em>Income would increase by $6,230.</em>
