Answer: 26.5% increase

Explanation:

Current profit = Sales - Variable costs - fixed costs

= ((32.50 - 16.50) * 360 bears) - 1,420

= $4,340

Sales increase by 20% = 360 * ( 1 + 20%) = 432 bears

New profit;

= ((32.50 - 16.50) * 432 bears) - 1,420

= $5,492

Effect of sales increase = ( 5,492 - 4,340) / 4,340

= 26.5% increase
