    Decrease by $ 186,000

    Explanation:

    Variable Mfg. Cost $ 270

    Variable Marketing $ 100 + increased by 2 per unid = $ 102

    Total Variable $ 372

    NOW Sales Price $ 310

    Less Total Variable Cost 372

    = Contribution Margin $ - 62

    Times units sold * 3000

    = losses $ 186,000
