    If product X is discontinued, the company net income will decrease by $59,200

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Units sold = 15,700 units

    Contribution margin per unit = 27 - 21 = $6

    $72,000 of the $107,000 in monthly fixed expenses are not avoidable.

    Today, the company is losing $12,800 a month in product X.

    Effect on income = - fixed costs - actual loss

    Effect on income = - 72,000 + 12,800 = - $59,200

    If product X is discontinued, the company net income will decrease by $59,200
