F

Sales

$38,000

$26,000

Shine Bright Company is thinking of dropping product line F because it is reporting an operating loss. Assuming fixed costs are unavoidable, if Shine Bright Company drops product line F and can use the space formerly used to produce product F to generate $17,000 of net income per year, what effect will this have on operating income? Should they drop Product F? **Show your work to support your answer.
