5) The Arielle Company reported the following results for the manufacture and sale of one
of its products known as Controllers during the most recent year.

Cost of sales 390,000
Distribution costs 65,000
Advertising expense 275,000
Salaries 25,000
Building costs 145,000
SO
Operating loss $ (55,000)
The Arielle Company is trying to determine whether or not to discontinue the manufacture and
sale of Controllers. The operating results reported above for last year are expected to continue in
the foreseeable future if the product is not dropped. The building costs represent the costs of
production facilities and equipment that the Controllers product shares with other products
LU
produced by Arielle. If the Controllers product were dropped, there would be no change in the
building costs of the company. Management has determined that discontinuing the manufacture
and sale of Controllers will have no effect on the company's other product lines. Determine the
change in operating profits that will happen if the manufacture and sale of Controllers is
discontinued.
