Lusk company produces and sells 15,900 units of product a each month. the selling price of product a is $29 per unit, and variab
le expenses are $23 per unit. a study has been made concerning whether product a should be discontinued. the study shows that $71,000 of the $109,000 in fixed expenses charged to product a would continue even if the product was discontinued. these data indicate that if product a is discontinued, the company's overall net operating income would:
<span>Decrease by $57,400 per month.
Looks look at the cash flow for continuing to produce product a and discontinuing product a.
Continuing to produce
Income = 15900 * $29 = $461,100
Variable Expenses = 15900 * 23 = $365,700
Fixed overhead = $109,000
Total cash flow = $461,100 - $365,700 - $109,000 = -$13,600
So the Lusk company is losing $13,600 per month while producing product a. Let's see what happens if they stop producing it.
Income = $0
Variable Expenses = $0
Fixed overhead = $71,000
Total cash flow = $0 - $71,000 = -$71,000
So if they stop producing it, their fixed overhead decreases, but is still at $71,000 per month, for a total loss per month of $71,000.
The conclusion is to either lose $13,600 per month, or $71,000 per month. So if they stop production of product a, their loss per month will increase by $57,400.</span>

As people are using more tablets and fewer television sets, the demand for television sets will decline. This will cause the demand curve to shift to the left. As a result, the price level will decline.
Now, with new production technique the cost of production declines. As a result, there will be an increase in the supply as the firm will be able to produce more at the same cost. This will cause the supply curve to shift to the right. This rightward shift in the supply curve may lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity of output. It depends on the extent of change in supply.
