Assume none of the fixed expenses for the hard rubber line are avoidable. What will be total net income if the line is dropped?

Wood Aluminum Hard Rubber Total Sales $590000 $280000 $65000 $935000 Variable expenses 365000 220000 58000 643000 Contribution margin 225000 60000 7000 292000 Fixed expenses 75000 35000 22000 132000 Net income (loss)
