Answer:

Net loss of $24,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales $773,900

Variable Expenses ($402,100)

Contribution Margin $371,800

Avoidable Expenses of B90D

Fixed Manufacturing Expenses $186,000

Fixed Selling and Admin Expenses %161,200

Total Avoidable expenses $347,200

If the product B90D is discontinued,the contribution margin of $371,800 will be lost by Wengel corporation and costs of $347,200 will be saved.

Therefore there will be net loss of $(371,800-347,200) $24,600 to the company if the product is discontinued.
