Greenview Corp. is considering eliminating a product from its line


Greenview has determined that eliminating the Blanco model will cause sales of the Sunrise and
Noche tables to increase by 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Variable costs for these two models will increase proportionately. Direct fixed costs are avoidable, but common fixed costs will remain unchanged.

Required:
1. Will Greenviews’s net operating income increase or decrease if the Blanco model is eliminated? By how much?
2. Should Greenview drop the Blanco model?
3. Suppose Greenview had $3,800 of direct fixed overhead that was traceable to the Blanco model. Would your recommendation to Greenview change? Why or whynot?
