40. Holt Industries has two sales territories-East and West.

Financial information for


the two territories is presented below:

East West

Sales P980,000 P750,000

Direct costs:

Variable (343,000) (225,000)

Fixed (450,000) (325,000)

Allocated common costs (275,000) (175,000)

Net income (loss) P(88,000) P 25,000

Because the company is in a start-up stage, corporate management feels that the East
sales territory is creating too much of a cash drain on the company and it should be
eliminated. If the East territory is discontinued, one sales manager (whose salary is
P40,000 per year) will be relocated to the West territory. By how much would Holt's
income change if the East territory is eliminated?

a. increase by P88,000

b. increase by P48,000

c. decrease by P267,000

d. decrease by P227,000
