i. Increase Revenue by 10% = Revenue is now $110 = Gross is $30
ii. Decrease COGS by 10% = COGS is now $72 = Gross is $28
In this case, you would rather increase revenue. Of course, there's a certain number where it makes more sense to increase the margin, but it's higher than 10% for this example.
