Waterways mass$-$produces a special connector unit that it normally sells for $$4\mathrm{.}00$ it sells approximately $33,300$ of these units each year. The unit variable costs are $$240.$ A company in Canada that has been unable to produce enough of a similar connector to meet customer demand would like to boy $16,300$ of these units at $$2,70$ per unit. The production of these units is near fall capacity at Waterways, so to accept the offer from the Canadian compeny would require temporarily adding another shift to its production line. To do this would increase unit variable manufacturing costs by $$0\mathrm{.}30.$ However, unit variable selling costs would be reduced by $$020$

An irrigation company has asked for a special order of $2,200$ of the connectors. To meet this special order, Waterways would not need an additional shift and variable selling costs would not be reduced. The inigation company is willing to pay $$3\mathrm{.}10$ per unit

What are the consequences of Waterways agreeing to provide the $16,300$ units to the Canadian company? Would this be a wise "special order" to accept?

Waterways accept the special order because net income by $
