In multiproduct cost-volume-profit analysis, an assumption made in addition to those used in single-product CVP analysis is that:

A company is debating whether to change its cost structure so that fixed costs increase from $300,000 to $400,000, but variable costs decrease from $5 per unit to $4 per unit.

What would happen to the company's profit if the change were implemented and production increased to 125,000 units?
