The management of Austin Corporation is considering dropping product R97C. Data from the company's accounting system appear below: 
Saks  3130.000 Variable expenses  $56000 Fixed manufacturing expenses  549.000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses  535.000 
In the company's accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that 534.000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and 520.000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product R97C is discontinued. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product R97C were dropped?
