    Increase in Net Operating Income = $3,000

    Explanation:

    Provided Current Operating income

    D = $45,000

    E = $15,000

    F = ($5,000)

    Total operating Income = $55,000

    In case product f is dropped then fixed cost of $21,000 will not be incurred.

    Total fixed cost of Product F = $23,000

    Avoidable fixed cost = $21,000

    Fixed cost still to be incurred = $23,000 - $21,000 = $2,000

    Net operating Income will arise same for Product D and E, there will be additional fixed cost of $2,000 without product F

    Net Operating Income will be

    D = $45,000

    Add: E = $15,000

    Operating Income = $60,000

    Less: Fixed Cost = - $2,000

    Net Operating Income = $58,000 after dropping product F

    Less: Net operating income with product F = $55,000

    Increase in Net Operating Income = $3,000
