Answer:
If the Division is eliminated, income will decrease by $280
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $72,000
Expenses= $76,000 sales.
Avoidable Expenses - Unavoidable Expenses
Cost of goods sold: $56,000
Direct expenses: 9,250 - $1,250
Indirect expenses: 470 - 1,600
Service department costs: 6,000 - 1,430
We need to determine if eliminating the Division will increase income.
Current loss= $4,000
Effect on income= unavoidable costs - current loss
Effect on income= -(1,250 + 1,600 + 1,430) + 4,000
Effect on income= $280 decrease
