a. greater corporate profits.
b. the same amount of corporate profits.
c. less corporate profits.
d. resulting profits cannot be determined.

c. less corporate profits.

Explanation:

Subtract all the expenses from the revenue that are solely associated with Cookbook product line.

60000 - 36000 - 18000 - 2000 = 4000

This $4000 suggests that CookBook product line contributes profit of 4000 towards the company. So If the cookbook product line had been discontinued prior to this year, the company would have reported less corporate profits by $4000.
