Net income per hour= contribution per hour- fixed cost per hour

3. Basic=$300-$42=$258 per hour

4. Deluxe=$350-$200=$150 per hour

5. Deluxe

(Because Contribution per hour is more in this case)

6. Present income in case of deluxe= $150*5000 hrs=$750000

Additional=$350*200 hrs=$70000

Total= $820000

Thus income will increase by $70000
