Answer:

"Decrease by 250" is the appropriate response.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Revised fixed cost,

= $150,000

Current selling price,

= $100

Current variable cost,

= $60

Current contribution will be:

=  Current \ selling \ price-Current \ variable \ cost

=  100-60

=  40

Now,

The revised BEP will be:

=  \frac{Revised \ fixed \ cost}{Revised \ contribution}

On substituting the values, we get

=  \frac{150,000}{40}

=  3750 \ units

hence,

=  4000-3750

=  250

Thus the above is the correct answer.
