    It will be a financial disadvantage for 10,000

    the loss will be for 90,000

    which is an increase of 10,000 in the department losses.

    It is better to continue with the department.

    Explanation:

    contribution 80,000

    fixed cost (160,000)

    net loss (80,000)

    unavoidable fixed cost (90,000)

    net loss (90,000)

    discontinued result - current result

    (-90,000) - (-80,000) = - 10,000
