Mohave Corp. is considering eliminating a product from its Sand Trap line of beach umbrellas. This collection is aimed at people who spend time on the beach or have an outdoor patio near the beach. Two products, the Indigo and Verde umbrellas, have impressive sales. However, sales for the Azul model have been dismal. Mohaves information related to the Sand Trap line is shown below.

*Allocated based on total sales revenue

Mohave has determined that eliminating the Azul model would cause sales of the Indigo and Verde models to increase by 10 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Variable costs for these two models would increase proportionately. Although the direct fixed costs could be eliminated, the common fixed costs are unavoidable. The common fixed costs would be redistributed to the remaining two products. Required: 1-a. Complete the table given below, if Mohave Corp drops the Azul line. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round Common Fixed Costs to the nearest whole dollar.)

	Indigo	Verde	Total
Sales Revenue	$66,000	$69,000	$135,000
Variable Costs	37,400	35,650	73,050
