Strawberry Strawberry

Sales 253,200 167,600 85600 Decrease

Variable costs 201,400 124,200 77200 Decrease

Operating profit (loss) 13,200 16,800 (3,600) Increase

Yes Strawberry line should be dropped as it reduces the overall profit by$ 3600

Working

We find the totals with and without the strawberry product line and then subtract to find the differential costs

Sales $65,200 $85,600 $102,400 253,200

Variable costs 44,000 77,200 80,200 201,400

Operating profit (loss) $11,800 $(3,600) $8,000 13,200

If we drop the strawberry line then the new totals would be
