    decrease by $56,600 per month

    Explanation:

    The impact on the net operating income would be shown below:

    In the first case,

    Sales ($31 * 16,100 units) = $499,100

    Variable expenses ($25 * 16,100 units) = - $402,500

    Fixed expenses = - $111,000

    Net loss = - $14,400

    And, the fixed cost not avoidable cost is $71,000

    So, the net income decreased by

    = $71,000 - $14,400

    = $56,600

    if the product A is discontinued
