Ecyzey541 is thinking about discontinuing Product Beautiful. Their research shows that $72,000 of the $112,000 in monthly fixed expenses charged to Product Beautiful would not be avoidable even if the product was discontinued. (ID#62560) Q) What would be the monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for Ecyzey541 if they decide to discontinue Product Beautiful?

Answer 1

Answer:

Effect on income= $57,200 decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units sold= 16,200

Unitary contribution margin= (32 - 26)= $6

Avoidable fixed costs= $40,000

To calculate the total financial effect on income each month, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= avoidable fixed costs - total contribution margin

Effect on income= 40,000 - (16,200*6)

Effect on income= -$57,200
