    Our answer is B $187,500 increase

    Explanation:

    $300,000/75,000 units = $4 FOH per unit at 75,000 unit level

    $300,000/200,000 units = $1.50 FOH per unit at 200,000 unit level

    $4 - $1.50 = $2.50 less FOH cost in each unit sold

    $2.50 x 75,000 = $187,500 gross margin increase
