A. According to the company's accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product V86O?

net loss ($5,000)

B. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product V86O were dropped?

the company's net operating income would decrease by $40,000

Explanation:

net operating income from product V860:

total sales $150,000

- variable expenses $72,000

- fixed manufacturing expenses $50,000

- fixed selling and administrative expenses $33,000

net loss ($5,000)

if product is dropped:

unavoidable fixed costs = ($50,000 + $33,000) - ($30,000 + $13,000) = $40,000
