the law firm of regal and porter is examining its client base to determine how profitable its regular clients are. its analysis indicates that hawthorne, inc. paid $179,200 in fees last year, but cost the firm $208,600 ($168,000 in billable labor, supplies, and copying, and $40,600 in allocated common fixed costs). if regal and porter dropped hawthorne, inc. as a client, and all fixed costs are unavoidable, how would profit be affected?
