Answer:

C) Will increase by $100

Explanation:

We can calculate the expected profit by adding:

$6,000 x 10%      = $600

$4,000 x 30%     = $1,200

-$2,000 x 60%    = -$1,200

expected profit   = $600

If best profit increases to $,7000 then the new expected profit will be:

$7,000 x 10%      = $700

$4,000 x 30%     = $1,200

-$2,000 x 60%    = -$1,200

expected profit   = $700

The new expected profit is $100 larger than the previous expected profit.
