Cecil Company presently has three product lines: papers, stamps, and computer ribbons. The company is profitable overall but is considering discontinuing the stamp line because of losses from that line. Current data on the stamp line is as follows:

Sales revenue	$27,000
Variable costs	19,000
Direct Avoidable Fixed Costs	5,000
Indirect allocated fixed costs	6,000
Net Income (Loss) on Stamp Line	($3,000)

Given this information, if Cecil discontinues the stamp line, overall net income for the company would

increase by $3,000.

decrease by $3,000.

decrease by $6,000.

decrease by $8,000.

none of the above.
