TB MC Qu. 14-59 Omar Industries manufactures two products...

Omar Industries manufactures two products: Regular and Super. The results of operations for 20x1 follow.

Regular Super Total
Units 12,000 3,900 15,900
Sales revenue $ 312,000 $ 819,000 $ 1,131,000
Less: Cost of goods sold 240,000 468,000 708,000
Gross Margin $ 72,000 $ 351,000 $ 423,000
Less: Selling expenses 72,000 180,000 252,000
Operating income (loss) $ 0 $ 171,000 $ 171,000

Fixed manufacturing costs included in cost of goods sold amount to $4 per unit for Regular and $20 per unit for Super. Variable selling expenses are $5 per unit for Regular and $20 per unit for Super; remaining selling amounts are fixed. Omar Industries wants to drop the Regular product line. If the line is dropped, company-wide fixed manufacturing costs would fall by 10% because there is no alternative use of the facilities. What would be the impact on operating income if Regular is discontinued?
