Fixed expenses consist of $298,000 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, as well as direct fixed
expenses unique to each model of $30,000 (Tingler), $80,800 (Shocker), and $34,300 (Stunner). The common costs will be incurred
regardless of how many models are produced. The direct fixed expenses would be eliminated if that model is phased out.
James Watt, an executive with the company, feels the Stunner line should be discontinued to increase the company's net income.

Hickory's management is deciding whether to keep or drop the parquet product line. Hickory's parquet flooring product line has a contribution margin of $25,000
(sales of $285,000 less total variable costs of $260,000). All variable costs are relevant.
Relevant fixed costs associated with this line include 70% of parquet's machine rent and all of parquet's supervision salaries. In addition, assume that dropping the
parquet product line would reduce sales of the strip line by 15% and sales of the plank line by 10%. All other information remains the same.
