The full salaries of three salesclerks are charged to Department A. The full salary of one salesclerk is charged to Department Z. Eliminating Department Z would avoid the sales salaries but not the office salary currently allocated to it. The store building is rented under a long-term lease that cannot be changed. Therefore, Department A will use the space and equipment currently utilized by Department Z. Closing Department Z will eliminate its expenses for advertising, bad debts, and store supplies; 65% of the insurance expense allocated to it to cover its merchandise inventory; and 30% of the miscellaneous office expenses presently allocated to it.
