Answer:
Sales 950,000
Less: Relevant cost:
Variable expenses 380,000
Avoidable fixed manufacturing expenses 217,000
Avoidable fixed selling and administrative expenses 178,000
Contribution 175,000
The total profit of Furrow Corporation reduces by $175,000 if the product is discontinued.
Explanation:
In this question, there is need to determine contribution, which is the excess of sales over relevant costs. Relevant costs are comprised of variable cost and avoidable fixed costs. The product should not be discontinued since the contribution is positive. Deleting a product with positive contribution reduces the total profit of the company by the amount of positive contribution.

Management Level

Answer:
The break even level of units per month fall by 16 units.
Explanation:
The current breakeven units per month are,
Break even in units = 5600 / (20 - 6)
Break even in units-March = 400 Units
The fixed costs remain constant in the short run to a certain activity level so assuming that the fixed costs will remain $5600.
The new variable costs will be 6 * 0.9 = $5.4
Assuming everything else remains constant,
The new break even in units per month = 5600 / (20 - 5.4)
New break even in units = 383.56 rounded off to 384 units
As a result of decrease in the variable cost per units, the new break even point becomes 16 units less than the previous one.
