Answer:
a decrease of $39,000.
an increase of $39,000.
a decrease of $19,500.
an increase of $19,500.
The correct option is the last one,an increase of $19,500
Explanation:
The impact on net operating income when the department is eliminated in Fabio Corporation is the company would lose the contribution margin of $39,000 and avoidable fixed cost,hence overall effect of the elimination is the difference between the contribution margin lost and the avoidable fixed costs which is computed thus:
Lost contribution margin $39000
Unavoidable fixed cost $19,500
Total fixed costs
avoidable fixed cost=$78,000-$19,500=$58,500
decrease in overall net operating income=$58,500-$39,000=$19,500
