e-2. Would you recommend the elimination of the ProForce model?

	Yes
	No

f-1. Assume the same facts as in requirement e-1. Assume also that the sales volume for the PowerGym model will increase by 501 units per month if the ProForce model is eliminated. What would be the effect on operating income.
