Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

1) Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:

Effect on income= 1,000*125 - 1,000*(45 + 30 + 35)

Effect on income= $15,000

2) Now, the company doesn't have unused capacity. It only has 500 units in excess. We have to take into account the fixed costs and the original selling price of the units.

Effect on income= 1,000*125 - 1,000*(45 + 30 + 35) - 500*(25 + 25)

Effect on income= -$10,000
