Hitech manufactures two products: regular and super. The results of operations for 20x1 follow. Regular super total units 11,000 3,500 14,500 sales $330,000 $665,000 $995,000 less: cost of goods sold 275,000 385,000 660,000 gross margin $55,000 $280,000 $335,000 less: selling expenses 55,000 148,000 203,000 operating income $0 $132,000 $132,000 fixed manufacturing costs included in cost of goods sold amount to $3 per unit for regular and $20 per unit for super. Variable selling expenses are $4 per unit for regular and $20 per unit for super; remaining selling amounts are fixed. Hitech wants to drop the regular product line. If the line is dropped, company-wide fixed manufacturing costs would fall by 10% because there is no alternative use of the facilities. What would be the impact on operating income if regular is discontinued
