Vernon-Nelson Chemicals is planning to release a new brand of insecticide, Bee-Safe, that will kill many insect pests but not harm useful pollinators. Buying new equipment to manufacture the product will cost $25 million, and there will be an additional $2 million cost to reconfigure the existing plants. The equipment is expected to have a lifetime of eight years and will be depreciated by the straight-line method over its lifetime. The firm expects that they should be able to sell 1,500,000 gallons per year at a price of $54 per gallon. It will take $36 per gallon to manufacture and support the product. If Vernon-Nelson's marginal tax rate is 40%, what are the incremental earnings in year 3 of this project?

A. $27.0 million

B. $14.3 million

C. $23.9 million

D. $9.6 million
