Computation of the profit will increase/decrease by:-

Variable cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead

= $130 + $60 + $13

= $203 per unit

Profit increase by = (sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit) * Number of units

= ($240 - $203) * 3,000

= $37 * 3,000

= $111,000
