If the economy contracts in coming years, Larson and Benson will both suffer a $11$ percent decrease in sales volume, assuming that the selling price remains unchanged. Compute the change in net income for each firm in dollar amount and in percentage. $($Note: Since the $$number of units decreases, both total revenue and total variable cost will decrease.$)$
