Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual contribution margin of $80,000 and $160,000 in annual fixed

costs.

Of the fixed costs, $50,000 cannot be avoided.

To calculate the financial impact on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= avoidable fixed costs - contribution margin

Effect on income= 50,000 - 80,000

Effect on income= -$30,000
