Keep-Or-Drop Decision, Alternatives, Relevant Costs
Reshier Company makes three types of rug shampooers. Model 1 is the basic model rented through hardware stores and supermarkets.
Model 2 is a more advanced model with both dry-and wet-vacuuming capabilities. Model 3 is the heavy-duty riding shampooer sold to hotels
and convention centers. A segmented income statement is shown below.

While all models have positive contribution margins, Reshier Company is concerned because operating income is less than 10 percent of
sales and is low for this type of company. The company's controller gathered additional information on fixed costs to see why they were so
high. The following information on activities and drivers was gathered:
