Fixed cost:
42,300 x 15% + 42,800 x 40% = 23,465
Variable cost:
42,300 x (1 - 15%) + 42,800 x (1 - 40%) = 61,635
The differencial will be discontinued less continued column
If the result is positive there is a cost saving if discontinued
if negative there is a loss in contribution if discontinued

The computation of book value of the machine is shown below:-
Machine cost $28,000
Less: Depreciation $4,200
($28,000 - $2,800) ÷ 6
Book Value at beginning
of Year 2 $23,800
Add: Improvements $7,000
Total $54,600
Less: Accumulated
Depreciation for 3 years $31,080
($54,600 - $2,800) × 3 ÷ 5 years
Book Value Dec 31, Year 4 $23,520
