Increases by $66,800.

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct materials = $ 200

Direct labor = 80

Manufacturing overhead (30% variable) = 150

Selling expenses (50% variable) = 50

Administrative expenses (10% variable) = 80

Total per unit = $560

If accept this offer,

Total cost:

= Material + Labor + Manufacturing overhead + Administrative

= $200 + $80 + (30% × 150) + (10% × 80)

= $200 + $80 + $45 + $8

= $333

Contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $500 - $333

= $167

Increase in profits:

= Contribution margin per unit × Number of units offer to purchase

= $167 × 400 units

= $66,800

answer; /// i believe its ; research and content manager;

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
