    If the product were dropped, the decrease in income of the company as a whole will be of $132,000

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Sales $890,000

    Variable expenses $374,000

    Fixed manufacturing expenses $329,000

    Fixed selling and administrative expenses $258,000

    Further investigation has revealed that $184,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $200,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product V41B is discontinued.

    To calculate the effect on income, we need to account for the positive contribution margin lost and the fixed costs that will remain in the company.

    First, we will determine the actual operating income:

    Contribution margin = 516,000

    Fixed manufacturing expenses = (329,000)

    Fixed selling and administrative expenses = (258,000)

    Net operating income = (71,000)

    If the product were dropped:

    Fixed manufacturing expense = 145,000

    Fixed selling and administrative expenses = 58,000

    Total fixed expense = $203,000

    Difference = 203,000 - 71,000 = 132,000

    If the product were dropped, the decrease in income of the company as a whole will be of $132,000
