Fixed manufacturing costs included in cost of goods sold amount to $2 per unit for Regular and $20 per unit for Super. Variable selling expenses are $3 per unit for Regular and $20 per unit for Super; remaining selling amounts are fixed. Omar Industries wants to drop the Regular product line. If the line is dropped, company-wide fixed manufacturing costs would fall by 10% because there is no alternative use of the facilities. What would be the impact on operating income if Regular is discontinued?
