Answer:

The outcome will be a net loss for 22,200

Step-by-step explanation:


\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Sales&490,200&377,000\\variable \: cost&-294,120&-226,200\\contibution&196,080&150,800\\fixed \:cost&-173,000&-173,000\\net \: income&23,080&-22,200\\\end{array}\right]

284120/490200 = 0.6 variable cost weight

377,000 x 0.6 = 226,200 variable cost
