    a decrease of $39,000.

    an increase of $39,000.

    a decrease of $19,500.

    an increase of $19,500.

    The correct option is the last one, an increase of $19,500

    Explanation:

    The impact on net operating income when the department is eliminated in Fabio Corporation is the company would lose the contribution margin of $39,000 and avoidable fixed cost, hence overall effect of the elimination is the difference between the contribution margin lost and the avoidable fixed costs which is computed thus:

    Lost contribution margin $39000

    Unavoidable fixed cost $19,500

    Total fixed costs

    avoidable fixed cost=$78,000-$19,500=$58,500

    decrease in overall net operating income=$58,500-$39,000=$19,500
