    Note that the total cost per unit of Betas is $47.

    Answer:

    decrease by - $4,375,000

    Explanation:

    Since Cane expects to produce and sell 93,000 Betas during the current year, additional 4000 units would make the total cost be

    93,000 + 4,000 = 97,000 units

    97,000 x $87 = $8,439,000

    To find the decrease or increase in profit, we multiply the total sales volume by the price willing to be paid by the new customer

    97,000 x $42 = $4,074,000 (This value is a great loss of profit). By substracting the total cost by amount paid we see a decrease of $8,439,000-$4,074,000 = $4,375,000.
