Petoskey Company produces three products: Alanson, Boyne, and Conway. A segmented income statement, with amounts given in thousands, follows:

	Alanson	Boyne	Conway	Total
Sales revenue	$1,280		$185		$300		$1,765
Less: Variable expenses	1,115		45		240		1,400
Contribution margin	$165		$140		$60		$365
Less direct fixed expenses:
	Depreciation	50		15		14		79
	Salaries	95		85		120		300
Segment margin	$20		$40		$(74)		$-14

Direct fixed expenses consist of depreciation and plant supervisory salaries. All depreciation on the equipment is dedicated to the product lines. None of the equipment can be sold.

Assume that, each of the three products has a different supervisor whose position wouldbe eliminatedif the associated product were dropped.

Assume that 20% of the Alanson customers choose to buy from Petoskey because it offers a full range of products, including Conway. If Conway were no longer available from Petoskey, these customers would go elsewhere to purchase Alanson.

Required:

Conceptual Connection: Estimate the impact on profit that would result from dropping Conway. Enter amount in full, rather than in thousands. For example, "15000" rather than "15". SelectIncreaseDecreaseItem 1$
