$3,751,500
Sales
Less:
Less:
Cost of goods sold
Gross profit
Selling and administrative expenses
Operating (loss)
2,722,400
$1,029,100
1,100,000
$ (70,900)
Jan is giving serious consideration to shutting down the division because this is the ninth consecutive
quarter that it has shown a loss. To help him in his decision, the following additional information has been
gathered:
The division produces one product at a selling price of $100 to outside parties. The division sells 50% of
its output to another division within the company for $83 per unit (full manufacturing cost plus 25%). The
internal price is set by company policy. If the division is shut down, the user division will buy the part
externally for $100 per unit.
The fixed overhead assigned per unit is $20.
There is no alternative use for the facilities if shut down. The facilities and equipment will be sold and the
proceeds invested to produce an annuity of $100,000 per year. Of the fixed selling and administrative
expenses, 30% represent allocated expenses from corporate headquarters. Variable selling expenses are
$5 per unit sold for units sold externally. These expenses are avoided for internal sales. No variable
administrative expenses are incurred.
Required:
1. Prepare an income statement that more accurately reflects the division's profit performance. Round
intermediate calculations to the nearest cent. Round final answers to the nearest dollar.
