Green Forest Berhad operates two divisions, the Bedroom Division and the Consumer Division. The Bedroom Division manufactures and sells bedroom fixture and fittings.
The Consumer Division operates retail lumber mills which sell a variety of products in the do-it-yourself homeowner market. The company is considering disposing of the Consumer Division since it has been consistently unprofitable for a number of years.
The income statements for the two divisions for the year ended December 31, 2010 are presented below:
Bedroom Division Consumer Division Total Sales $1,500,000 $500,000 $2,000,000 Cost of goods sold 900,000 350,000 1,250,000 Gross profit 600,000 150,000 750,000 Selling & administrative expenses 250,000 180,000 430,000 Net income $ 350,000 $(30,000) $ 320,000 In the Consumer Division, 70% of the cost of goods sold are variable costs and 30% of selling and administrative expenses are variable costs.
The management of the company feels it can save $60,000 of fixed cost of goods sold and $50,000 of fixed selling expenses if it discontinues operation of the Consumer Division. Instructions:
