Splash Org mass-produces a simple water control and timer set. To produce these units, the company incurred variable expenses of $1,863,000 and fixed expenses of $687,568.

During 2022, it sold 690,000 units at an average selling price of $4.10 per unit. This was the combination of selling 345,000 units on the market for $5.50 each, and transferring 345,000 units to the installation divisions at variable cost. Top management had directed the use of this transfer price. Capacity for this unit was 730,000 units.

Recently, Bryan Smith, the plant manager, was approached by a new customer who offered to pay $5.55 per unit for 54,000 units. Bryan, thinking about his bonus that was based on the department's operating income, readily accepted the order. Now he had to break the news to Lee Williams, the service vice-president in charge of installations. In order to fill the new order, Bryan would have to reduce the installation division's quota by 24,000 units because he was not prepared to give up the margin he would receive from the outside sales. He suggested that Lee could purchase what he needed in the outside market.

(a) Suppose Bryan accepts the order. Determine what the impact would be on:
