    Effect on income = (189,000) or $189,000 decrease

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Sales $928,000

    Variable expenses (408,000)

    Fixed manufacturing expenses (342,000)

    Fixed selling and administrative expenses (249,000)

    Net loss = (71,000)

    Further investigation has revealed that $210,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $121,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product C11B is discontinued.

    To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

    Effect on income = unavoidable fixed costs - net income

    Effect on income = - (132,000 + 128,000) + 71,000

    Effect on income = (189,000)
