8. Keep or drop a segment

Department A has a contribution margin of $650,000, fixed costs of $800,000, and a net operating loss of $150,000. Department B has a contribution margin of $2,200,000, fixed costs of $1,200,000 and a net operating income of $1,000,000. $450,000 of the fixed costs charged to Department A are allocated costs that will be absorbed by Department B if Department A is dropped.
