Cotrone Beverages makes energy drinks in three flavors: Original, Strawberry, and Orange. The company is currently operating at 75 percent of capacity. Worried about the company's performance, the company president is considering dropping the Strawberry flavor. If Strawberry is dropped, the revenue associated with it would be lost and the related variable costs saved. In addition, the company's total fixed costs would be reduced by 15 percent.

Segmented income statements appear as follows:

Product	Original				Strawberry				Orange
Sales	$	32,300			$	43,500			$	51,400
Variable costs		22,610				39,150				41,120
