Answer:
Winslow Inc.
a. No. I do not agree with management's decision and conclusions. Eliminating the running shoes line increased the company-wide loss to $112,600 from a profit of $7,900.
b. Variable Costing Income Statements:
1 Cross Training Golf Shoes Running Shoes Total
2 Revenues $850,000 $700,000 $635,000 $2,185,000
3 Variable costs:
Cost of goods sold 284,500 248,400 298,500 831,400
Selling and administrative 293,100 175,500 216,000 684,600
Total 577,600 423,900 514,500 1,516,000
4 Gross profit $272,400 $276,100 $120,500 $669,000
5 Fixed costs:
Cost of goods sold 128,500 90,300 120,500 339,300
Selling & administrative 95,900 82,400 143,500 321,800
Total 224,400 172,700 264,000 661,100
6 Income (Loss) from $48,000 $103,400 $(143,500) $7,900
c. Eliminating the line only eliminated the variable costs of goods sold and selling and administrative expenses. The fixed costs were not changed with the elimination. Therefore, eliminating the running shoes line increased the company-wide loss to $112,600 from a profit of $7,900.
