At Pardo Electronics, it costs $270 per unit to make a cell phone that normally sells for $730. Of $270, direct materials cost $95 per unit, direct labor costs $20 per unit, variable manufacturing overhead costs $35 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead costs $120 per unit. A foreign wholesaler offers to buy 1,050 units at $525 each. Pardo Electronics will incur special shipping costs of $15 per unit. Assuming that Pardo Electronics has excess operating capacity, indicate the net income (loss) Pardo Electronics would realize by accepting the special order.

Hello, my question is I wanted to know how my professor got the "net income increase (decreases) column?" Can you please specify how some are negative and some are positive? Because I would think they would all be negative because they are subtracted by 0. Please Help Me better Understand This. Thank You.
