Answer:

$12,800

Explanation:

Since Inscribe is operating below full capacity it can take Cubby's and its profit should increase by:

selling price per pen = $4

variable cost per pen = $0.80, we will consider fixed cost per pen since the company uses abortion costing and all fixed costs have already been assigned to regular production.

contribution margin per pen = $4 - $0.80 = $3.20

income increase = $3.20 per pen x 4,000 pens = $12,800
