    - ($51,306)

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Loss of Contribution = $75,000

    Fixed costs will be eliminated by dropping the CUP line = $23,694

    Net loss on dropping cup line:

    = Loss of contribution - Gain on fixed costs on dropping cup line

    = $75,000 - $23,694

    = - ($51,306)

    Therefore, the net effect on dropping the cup line on net income is $ (51,606).
