There are no " offsets " to $ 1 of shipping income , unlike $ 1 of product sales when COGS and any volume - driven variable operating expense must be deducted . You might be left with .20-.30 of every $ 1 of product sales to cover fixed costs and provide an acceptable profit . But if you lose $ 1 of shipping income , you lose $ 1 of bottomline profit . Do n't squander it .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
What may happen after losing shipping income ?


You may lose income from the bottomline .
