New operating income= -$38,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sporty

Sales revenue= $130,000

Variable expenses= ($118,000)

Contribution margin= 12,000

Fixed expenses= (38,000)

Operating income= (26,000)

The general rule is that as long as the contribution margin is positive, in the short term the product line should continue. We will prove this.

Because none of the fixed costs are evitable, the effect on income will be the increase in the influence of the fixed costs on income.

Effect on income= -positive contribution margin

Effect on income= -$12,000

New operating income= -26,000 - 12,000= -$38,000
