    Net income will decrease by $400,000

    Explanation:

    Currently this business unit is generating a net loss of $150,000:

    total revenue - variable expenses - fixed costs = $700,000 - $300,000 - $550,000 = - $150,000

    if the unit is eliminated, then the revenue and variable expenses will be gone, but the fixed costs will be allocated to other business units. So instead of losing $150,000, the company will lose $550,000. The company's net income will decrease by $550,000 - $150,000 = $400,000
