Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
We can compute the profitability of this special order by accounting for the incremental costs,
Sales (9700 * 47.20) = $457,840
Incremental Variable costs = (18 + 7.30 + 4.50 + 6.90) = $36.7/unit
The incremental variable costs include the $6.9 for modifications and does not include 7.4 which is a part of non incremental fixed costs.
Profits from this special order are as follows,
Sales 457,840
Less:
Variable costs (36.7*9700) 355,990
Incremental Fixed costs 46,700
Profits from this special order 55,150
Since the order has positive contribution and as it yields profits, it should be accepted.
Hope that helps.

The full question is:
Karl's Sporting Goods started as a small shop catering to the fly-fishing crowd but as requests were made for different and varied goods, it branched out into an outdoor-sports store. Karl caters to his core customer base of hunters and fishermen, but stocks the latest outdoor gear for those who want to incorporate other sports such as backpacking into their hunting and fishing experience. Due to space limitations, he does not carry mountain bikes, but does carry gear for them. Since Karl's is not located near the ocean or a large body of water, he does not carry wetsuits or other watersports equipment, but he does carry gear that would be required for wading in cold mountain rivers and streams, and canoes and kayaks. His marketing is directed toward hunters and fishermen, but includes activities, events, and sales aimed at bringing outdoor enthusiasts with other interests into his store. Over the past month, he has received numerous request for rock climbing gear. As a result of these requests, Karl has entered into negotiations with three providers of high-quality rock climbing shoes and gear. What do Karl's activities show about his marketing for Karl's Sporting Goods?
Answer:
He has a marketing concept and is acting on it.
Explanation:
A marketing concept is the way by which businesses identify the needs of customers and come up with strategic ways of meeting those needs better than competing firms.
Different marketing concepts include: production concept, product concept, selling concept, marketing concept, and the societal marketing concept.
In the given scenario Karl's sporting goods only catered for fly fishers but as demand for other items increased they branched into other outdoor sport items.
He is stocking gear for swimming, rock climbing, and mountain bikers through partnership with suppliers even if they are not his primary market.
This is acting on marketing concept to be able to meet demand for the other outdoor sporting activities he does not normally supply
