A company has two different products that are sold in different markets. Financial data are as​ follows:
- Product A Product B Total
Revenue $ 18,000 $ 9,300 $ 27,300
Variable cost ​ (7,000​) ​ (9,900​) ​(16,900​)
Fixed cost​ (allocated) ​ (3,000​) ​ (2,200​) ​ (5,200​)
Operating income​ (loss) $ 8,000 ​$ (2,800​) $ 5,200
Assume that fixed costs of $ 2,000 could be eliminated if Product B was dropped. Assume furthermore that dropping one product would not impact sales of the other. If Product B is​ dropped, what would be the impact on total operating income of the​ company?
