Answer:

The $20 amount of sales has increased

Explanation:

The amount of increased sales for the year 2014 is computed as:

Increased sales = Sales / Pre- tax earnings

where

Sales for the year amounts to $10,000,000

Pre- tax earnings for the year amounts to $500,000

Putting the values above:

Increased Sales = $10,000,000 / $500,000

= $20

Here we have to found, the increased sales, so only the sales amount and the earnings is considered while computing or evaluating the same.
