Elegant Decor Companys management is trying to decide whether to eliminate Department 200, which has produced losses or low profits for several years. The companys 2017 departmental income statements shows the following. ELEGANT DECOR COMPANY Departmental Income Statements For Year Ended December 31, 2017 Dept. 100 Dept. 200 Combined Sales $ 445,000 $ 285,000 $ 730,000 Cost of goods sold 266,000 211,000 477,000 Gross profit 179,000 74,000 253,000 Operating expenses Direct expenses Advertising 15,500 12,500 28,000 Store supplies used 5,000 4,500 9,500 DepreciationStore equipment 4,200 3,000 7,200 Total direct expenses 24,700 20,000 44,700 Allocated expenses Sales salaries 52,000 31,200 83,200 Rent expense 9,420 4,710 14,130 Bad debts expense 9,700 7,400 17,100 Office salary 18,720 12,480 31,200 Insurance expense 2,100 1,400 3,500 Miscellaneous office expenses 2,800 2,100 4,900 Total allocated expenses 94,740 59,290 154,030 Total expenses 119,440 79,290 198,730 Net income (loss) $ 59,560 $ (5,290 ) $ 54,270 In analyzing whether to eliminate Department 200, management considers the following: The company has one office worker who earns $600 per week, or $31,200 per year, and four sales clerks who each earn $400 per week, or $20,800 per year for each salesclerk. The full salaries of two salesclerks are charged to Department 100. The full salary of one salesclerk is charged to Department 200. The salary of the fourth clerk, who works half-time in both departments, is divided evenly between the two departments. Eliminating Department 200 would avoid the sales salaries and the office salary currently allocated to it. However, management prefers another plan. Two salesclerks have indicated that they will be quitting soon. Management believes that their work can be done by the other two clerks if the one office worker works in sales half-time. Eliminating Department 200 will allow this shift of duties. If this change is implemented, half the office workers salary would be reported as sales salaries and half would be reported as office salary. The store building is rented under a long-term lease that cannot be changed. Therefore, Department 100 will use the space and equipment currently used by Department 200. Closing Department 200 will eliminate its expenses for advertising, bad debts, and store supplies; 74% of the insurance expense allocated to it to cover its merchandise inventory; and 22% of the miscellaneous office expenses presently allocated to it. 1. Complete the following report showing total expenses, expenses that would be eliminated by closing Department 200 and the expenses that would continue. The statement should reflect the reassignment of the office worker to one-half time as salesclerk.
