Explanation / Answer

answer 1.

diffrential analysis:

as the total fixed cost does not change by stopping sale of DVD so there will be no effect of fixed cost on decision making. hence company must not stop selling DVD as it contributed $33000 towards the contribution of company. AS long as the DVD segment is giving positive contribution company should not stop its sale.

Particular sells dvd not sells dvd change sale 432000 309000 (123000) variable cost 240000 150000 90000 contribution 192000 159000 (33000)
