Answer:

$88,000

Explanation:

We know that

The operating profit = Revenues - cost

                                  = $2,600,000 - $2,100,000

                                  = $500,000

If there is increase, so the operating profit would be

= Revenues - cost

where

Revenues = $2,600,000 + $260,000

                 = $2,860,000

Cost = $2,100,000 + $172,000

        = $2,272,000

So, operating profit is

= $2,860,000 - $2,272,000

= $588,000

So, the increase in operating profit would be

= $588,000 - $500,000

=  $88,000
