    The correct answer is C.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Sales $215,000

    Variable expenses 125,000

    Contribution margin 90,000

    Fixed expenses 130,000

    Net loss $ (40,000)

    If this product line is eliminated, 60% of the fixed expenses can be eliminated and the other 40% will be allocated to other product lines.

    Effect on income = - contribution loss + fix costs save

    Effect on income = - 90,000 + 78,000 = - 12,000

    Income will decrease by $12,000
