After the combo washer-dryer has been in production for a few years, you are asked to perform another analysis. You must evaluate the performance of all three product lines as management is concerned with the viability of the washer-dryer combination product. They provide you with the latest annual information by product:
High-End Set | Economical Set | W/D Combo | Total | |

Sales | $4,700,000 | $4,060,000 | $880,000 | $9,640,000 |
Labor | $(1,250,000) | $(1,015,000) | $(235,000) | $(2,500,000) |
