    The increase in gross profit is $12,374.93

    Explanation:

    The increase in sales due to purchasing this new equipment is 25% of current sales figure of $750,000

    increase in sales=$750,000*25%=$187,500

    variable cost on the increase in sales is 55%=$187500 * 55%=$103,125

    The annual depreciation charge on the new equipment=cost of the new equipment-salvage value/useful life

    cost of the new equipment is $357,500.37

    salvage value is $0

    useful life of the new equipment is 5 years

    annual depreciation charge = ($357,500.37-$0) / 5=$ 71,500.07

    Increase / (decrease) in annual gross profit=$187,000-$103,125-$ 71,500.07 = $12,374.93
