    Decrease of $40,800 after introducing new marketing policy

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Profit = Sales - Total cost

    = 9,000 * $100 - (9,000 * $20 + $625,000)

    = $95,000

    To calculate new profit:

    New unit = 9,000 + 800 = 9,800 units

    Selling price = $100 - $6 = $94 per unit

    Fixed cost = $625,000 + $46,000

    = $671,000

    Now Profit = $94 * 9,800 - ($20 * 9,800 + $671,000)

    = $54,200

    Since, introducing the new marketing policy profit will be decreased = $95,000 - $54,200

    = $40,800

    Hence, There will be decrease of $40,800
