Answer:

A.$9,000

Explanation:

The increase in the Lyman company after tax profit shall be calculated as follows:

Increase in credit sales                                         $100,000

Less:expenses for collecting sales                       ($15,000)

(15%*$100,000)

Less:Manufacturing and selling expenses          ($70,000)  

(70%*$100,000)

Profit before tax                                                     $15,000

Less: taxation(40%*15,000)                                   ($6,000)

Profit after tax                                                          $9,000

So based on the above calculations, the answer is A.$9,000
