Effect on income = $120,000 loss

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales $320,000

Variable costs $200,000

Fixed costs $140,000.

None of the fixed costs are avoidable. Therefore, they shouldn't be taken into account to make the decision.

Effect on income = Sales - varaible cost

Effect on income = 320,000 - 200,000 = $120,000 loss
