Net income                            $4,650                    $4,575                    $75 Â
Should the company eliminate or keep the segment?
    Eliminate the segment since unavoidable expenses are $2,250 of fixed costs
    Keep the segment since the segment's total avoidable expenses are $4,500
    Keep the segment since eliminating it will result in a $4,575 reduction in net income compared to the existing business
    Eliminate the segment since the contribution margin of the segment is $1,725 less than total allocated expenses
