Fixed expenses consist of $309,700 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, and additional fixed expenses of $29,080 (Stunner), $74,926 (Double-Set), and $29,233 (Mega-Power). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many models are produced. The other fixed expenses would be eliminated if a model is phased out.
Ralph Port, an executive with the company, feels the Mega-Power line should be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.

Incorrect.

Compute net income by product line and in total for Nichols Company if the company discontinues the Mega-Power product line. (Hint: Allocate the $309,700 common costs to the two remaining product lines based on their relative sales.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
