All depreciation on the equipment is dedicated to the product lines. None of the equipment can be sold. Assume that each of the three products has a different supervisor whose position would remain if the associated product were dropped. Required: Conceptual Connection: Estimate the impact on profit that would result from dropping Conway. Enter amount in full, rather than in thousands. For example, "15000" rather than "15". Decrease $
