    The correct answer is D.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The last 500 cigars we produced and sold increased revenue by $7,500 and costs by $7,000.

    The increase in profit by the last 500 cigars:

    7500 - 7000 = $500

    If the firm had not produced the las 500 cigars, the profit would have decreased by $500.
