Looney, Inc company produces several electronic devices in their Georgia factory. Looney, Inc has the following costs related to manufacturing and selling 100,000 B37 devices.

Direct materials $200,000
Direct labor $450,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $70,000

Salary of B37 device production manager $80,000
Variable selling costs $25,000
Sales manager's salary (allocated to B37 device production) $30,000
Total $987,000

The sales price of the B37 device was recently reduced to $8.00 each due to new competition. Management is considering discontinuation of the B37 device. It will continue to produce other products in the same factory. If the B37 devices are discontinued, the B37 production manager will be fired and the equipment used to make the B37 devices will be put in storage.
