    -$173,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is shown below:

    But before that first we have to find the net operating income

    Sales $830,000

    Less:Variable expenses - $365,000

    Contribution margin $465,000

    Less:Fixed manufacturing expenses - $291,000 477

    Less:Fixed selling and administrative expenses - $166,000 272

    Net operating income $8,000

    Now

    Fixed manufacturing expense unavoidable is

    = $291,000 - $186,000

    = $105,000

    And,

    Fixed selling and administrative expense unavoidable is

    = $166,000 - $106,000

    = $60,000

    Total expenses unavoidable=$266000

    Hence financial disadvantage is

    = - $105,000 - $60,000 - $8,000

    = - $173,000
