    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.
