Clinton Company sells two items, product A and product B. The company is considering dropping product B. It is expected that sales of product A will increase by 40% as a result. Dropping product B will allow the company to cancel its monthly equipment rental costing $100 per month. The other existing equipment will be used for additional production of product A. One employee earning $200 per month can be terminated if product B production is dropped. Clinton's other fixed costs are allocated and will continue regardless of the decision made. A condensed, budgeted monthly income statement with both products follows:

   Product A   Product B   Total
Sales   $10,000   $8,000   $18,000
Direct materials   2,500   2,000   4,500
Direct labour   2,000   1,200   3,200
Equipment rental   300   2,600   2,900
Other allocated overhead   1,000    2,100   3,100
Operating income     $4,200     $100    $4,300

Required:
Prepare an incremental analysis to determine the financial effect of dropping product B.
