Transcribed Image Text:Differential Analysis for a Discontinued Product
A condensed income statement by product line for Crown Beverage Inc. indicated the following for Royal Cola for the past year:
Sales
$236,500
Cost of goods sold
109,000
Gross profit
$127,500
Operating expenses
143,000
Loss from operations
$(15,500)
It is estimated that 15% of the cost of goods sold represents fixed factory overhead costs and that 19% of the operating expenses are fixed. Since Royal Cola is only one
of many products, the fixed costs will not be materially affected if the product is discontinued.
