Respuesta :

According to the company's accounting system, The financial advantage (disadvantage) from dropping product x-198 is -$ 26,000

Sales                                                                   = $ 918,000

Variable Expenses                                             = $ 403,000

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Expenses

                                  = $ 918,000 - $ 403,000

∴ Contribution margin = $ 515,000

Fixed Expenses:

Fixed manufacturing expenses                         = $ 332,000

Fixed selling and admin Expenses                    = $ 239,000

Total Fixed expenses = Fixed manufacturing expenses + Fixed selling

                                       and admin Expenses

                                    = $ 332,000 + $ 239,000

∴ Total Fixed expenses = $ 571,000

⇒ Financial advantage (disadvantage) = Contribution margin - Total Fixed

                                                                   expenses

                                                               = $ 515,000 - $ 571,000

⇒ Financial advantage (disadvantage) = -$ 26,000
