    D. Profit of $20

    Explanation:

    Current profit: Revenue - Cost = 400*0.75 - (400*0.25 + 200) = 0 (breaks even)

    Because raising price will not have any effect on sales, the sales volume would still be 400

    The price is raised from $.75 to $.80

    The new profit would be 400 * 0.80 - (400*0.25 + 200) = $20

    That would also be the additional profit (20 - 0 = 20)
