At Bargain Electronics, it costs $31 per unit ($20 variable and $11 fixed) to make an MP3 player that normally sells for $49. A foreign wholesaler offers to buy 4,170 units at $25 each. Bargain Electronics will incur special shipping costs of $1 per unit. Assuming that Bargain Electronics has excess operating capacity, indicate the net income (loss) Bargain Electronics would realize by accepting the special order. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Answer
| Reject order | Accept order | Net Income Increase (Decease) | |
| Revenues | $ - | $ 104,250 | $ 104,250 | 
| Costs—Variable manufacturing | $ - | $ (83,400) | $ (83,400) | 
| Shipping | $ - | $ (4,170) | $ (4,170) | 
| Net income | $ - | $ 16,680 | $ 16,680 | 
The special order should be ACCEPTED.
Calculation of values:
| Accept order | |
| Revenues | = 4170 * $ 25 | 
| Costs—Variable manufacturing | = -4170 * $ 20 | 
| Shipping | = -4170 * $ 1 |
