Ginger Company believes the basic model is a concern and is considering a number of options to deal with this situation. One possibility is to drop the Basic line. If that is done, operating income will be $**BLANK** higher

After further study, Ginger Company has found that if the Basic Model is dropped, sales of the Countertop model will decrease by 5 percent as some stores prefer to order only from a company with both basic and countertop models. Now if the Basic line is dropped, operating income will be $**BLANK**lower than if the Basic line is kept. (round to nearest dollar).
