The fixed overheads have been absorbed as $4 per unit when the output was 4,000, which means that the total fixed costs were $16,000. If the output is 6,000 units then the total fixed costs increase by $1,000 to $17,000.
So for 6,000 units the total contribution will be $72,000 and the total profit will be 72,000 - 17,000 = $55,000.
