Company A manufactures two products A and B that sells for 120 € and 80 € respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw materials that costs € 6 per kilogram. The company has the capacity to annually produce 100,000 units of each product. The company considers its traceable fixed mahufacturing overhead to be avoidable and its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales in euros. The Company's average cost per unit for each product at the annual level of activity is provided in the table.
(Answer each question independently unless instructed otherwise)
Assume that the Company normally produces and sells 60000 units of product B and 80000 units of product A per year. If the Company discontinues the B product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of product A by 15000 units. Evaluate what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the B product line.
