Bertans has received a special order for 2,400 units of its product at a special price of $18. The product normally sells for $25 and has the following manufacturing costs:

	Per unit
Direct materials		$	7
Direct labor			4
Variable manufacturing overhead			2
Fixed manufacturing overhead			3
Unit cost		$	16

Assume that Bertans' production is at full capacity. If Bertans accepts the order, what effect will the order have on the companys short-term profit?

If a decrease, place a sign before your answer. For example, a decrease of $1,000 would be answered -1,000.
