Studemeir Paint & Floors (SPF) has experienced net operating losses in its Other Flooring Products line during the last few periods. SPFs management team thinks that the store will improve its profitability if it discontinues the Other Flooring Products line. The operating results from the most recent period are:

Paint and Paint Supplies Carpet Other Flooring Products
Sales $ 431,400 $ 261,000 $ 196,000
Cost of goods sold 132,000 155,000 161,000

SPF estimates that store support expenses are approximately 25% of revenues.

Order processing $ 150 per purchase order
