Suire Corporation is considering dropping product D14E. Data from the company's accounting system appear below:

Sales $ 800,000

Variable expenses $ 381,000

Fixed manufacturing expenses $ 263,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 211,000

All fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products in the company's accounting system. Further investigation has revealed that $202,500 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $117,500 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product D14E is discontinued.

    Answer and Explanation:

    a. The computation of the net operating income earned is shown below:

    Sales $800,000

    Less: Variable cost - $381,000

    Contribution margin $419,000

    Less: Fixed manufacturing expenses - $263,000

    Less : Fixed selling and administrative expenses - $211,000

    Net operating income or (Loss) - $55,000

    b. The computation of the financial advantage (disadvantage) of dropping product D14E is shown below:

    Sales $800,000

    Less: Variable cost - $381,000

    Contribution margin $419,000

    Less: Fixed manufacturing expenses - $202,500

    Less : Fixed selling and administrative expenses - $117,500
