    The operating income is decreased by $6,000

    Explanation:

    The effect on operating income is shown below:

    = Operating income for cat food - fixed costs of dog food line

    = $260,000 - $13,000

    = $247,000

    And the total operating income is $253,000

    So, the effect would be equal to

    = Cat food line operating income - total operating income

    = $247,000 - $253,000

    = - $6,000

    The minus amount reflect the decrease in the net income
