    the profit decrease - 37

    Explanation:

    First of all you need to calculate the profits between the first scenario

    1st = revenue1 - total cost1

    1st = 838-514 = 324 (profit)

    secondly, you have to calculate the second scenario:

    2nd = revenue 2 - total cost 2

    2nd = 973 - 686 = 287 (profit)

    Now that you have the two results need to calculate the difference

    Profit 2 - Profit 1

    287 - 324 = - 37

    It means that the profit decrease - 37 and is equvalent to - 11,4%
