    Effect on income = $9,000 increase

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Fashion:

    Contribution margin = 20,000

    Fixed expenses = 40,000

    Operating income (loss) = (20,000)

    $29,000 of fixed costs will be eliminated by discontinuing the Fashion line.

    We need to determine the effect on income if the Fashion line is discontinued.

    Effect on income = avoidable fixed costs + operating income

    Effect on income = 29,000 - 20,000 = $9,000 increase
