Carrie Corporation makes three products: a standard model, a deluxe model, and a luxury model. The financial statements of the products are as follows:

	Standard Model			Deluxe Model				Luxury Model			Total
Sales revenue	$	90,000		$	70,000			$	50,000		$	210,000
Variable costs		30,000			35,000				25,000			90,000
Contribution margin		60,000			35,000				25,000			120,000
Less fixed costs:
Salaries		12,000			20,000				4,000			36,000
Rent		10,000			10,000				10,000			30,000
Administrative		20,000			10,000				8,000			38,000
Operating profit (loss)	$	18,000		$	(5,000	)		$	3,000		$	16,000

If the deluxe model product line was discontinued, all variable costs for that line could be avoided and $10,000 of the salaries associated with that model could be avoided. The other fixed costs are unavoidable. If the deluxe model product line is dropped, how will the company's operating profit be impacted?
