GM operates in two sales territories, Urban and Rural. Data concerning last year's operations appear below:

		Urban			Rural
Sales	$	320,000		$	80,000
Variable expenses		208,000			56,000
Contribution margin		112,000			24,000
Traceable fixed expenses		48,000			30,000
Segment margin	$	64,000		$	(6,000	)

GM's common fixed expenses were $25,000 last year. If operations in the Rural Sales Territory would have been discontinued at the beginning of last year, how would this have changed the net operating income of GM as a whole?
