$54,600
 

All of the allocated costs will continue even if a division is discontinued. Sunland allocates indirect fixed costs based on the number of units to be sold. Since the Wise division has a net loss, Sunland is concerned that it should be discontinued. Sunland thinks that if the division is closed, that sales at the Bud division will increase by 12% while sales at the Er division will stay the same.
