    Net Contribution of the Department $

    Contribution margin 24,000

    Less: Avoidable fixed cost 55,000

    Net contribution (31,000)

    The department should be eliminated. The financial advantage of eliminating the department is that it will increase the total profit of the whole company by $31,000

    Explanation:

    This question relates to deleting a product or segment. The net contribution will be computed by deducting the avoidable fixed cost from the contribution margin. The avoidable fixed cost is total fixed cot minus unavoidable fixed cost. Since the net contribution is negative, it implies that the department should be eliminated.
