Contribution margin of Beta=sales price – variable cost
=$162-($15+$23+$25+$28)
=$71 per unit
| Contribution margin lost if Beta is dropped ($71×110,000) | (7,810,000) |
| Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead ($38×131,000) | $4,978,000 |
| Decrease in net operating income if Beta is dropped | (2,832,000) |

| Contribution margin lost if Beta is dropped ($71×60,000) | (4,260,000) |
| Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead ($38×131,000) | $4,978,000 |
| Increase in net operating income if Beta is dropped | $718,000 |
