    Option A

    Decrease by $54,600 per month

    Relevant cost are future incremental cash costs that arise as a direct consequence of a decision.

    The relevant costs of this decision to dis includes discontinue he following:

    $

    1. The contribution lost (23-17) * 14,100 = (84600)

    2. savings in the avoidable fixed cost

    (104,000 - 74,000) 30000

    The net loss from decision (54,600)

    If product is discontinued, Lusk Corporation net income will be reduced by $54,600

    Note that we did not consider the allocated fixed cost of $74,000 because they would be incurred either way. And therefore they are not relevant for this decision
