Billings Company has developed the following budgeted income statement:
Sales Revenue (2,300 units × $14 sales price)                $32,200
Total Variable Expenses (2,300 × $6 per unit)                 (13,800)
Contribution Margin                                                             18,400
Fixed Expenses                                                                     (10,000)
Net Income                                                                             $8,400


The Company is experimenting with new engineering techniques and believes it can reduce variable cost to $4.50 per unit and significantly improve the product.

A) decrease by $4,250.
B) increase by $4,850.
C) increase by $13,250.
