Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Relevant profit/(Loss):

= Sale revenue - Cost of goods sold - Sales commission - Avoidable fixed operating costs

= $352,000 - $282,000 - $32,000 - (92,000 × 80%)

= $352,000 - $282,000 - $32,000 - $73,600

= ($35,600)

Hence,

Yes, Omaha would be better off by $35,600

Note: The value in the parenthesis represents loss.
