CRS would not benefit from dropping Donnelly's Pizza because it would lose $43,680 in revenues and save $43,344 in costs resulting in a $336 decrease in operating income.

Explanation:

Difference: Incremental (Loss in Revenues) and Savings in Costs from dropping Donnelly's Pizza:

Revenues $ (43,680)

Cost of goods sold 26,180

Order processing ($14,000 - 10% * $14,000) = 12,600

Delivery ($3,500 - 20% * $3,500) = 2,800

Rush orders 924

Sales calls 840

Total costs 43,444

Effect on operating income (loss)

$ (336)
