However, due to the floor space required for retailing BMX Bikes, management estimates that sales of Mountain Bikes will decrease (hint: remember that variable costs will also change when sales change). Increase in Accessories Sales Decrease in Mountain Bikes Sales 14% 6% What is the impact to the company's income as a whole if the BMX product line is added (hint: consider the segment margin of the BMX product line, and the impact to the other product lines. Remember that if sales change for a product line, the total variable costs will also change. Thus, contribution margin should be used in your calculations for the other product lines).
