Exercise 20-15 Veronica Mars, a recent graduate of Bells accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Companys six divisions. Veronica made the following presentation to Dunns board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. If the Percy Division is eliminated, she said, our total profits would increase by $26,200. The Other Five Divisions Percy Division Total Sales $1,663,000 $100,100 $1,763,100 Cost of goods sold 978,600 76,800 1,055,400 Gross profit 684,400 23,300 707,700 Operating expenses 526,000 49,500 575,500 Net income $158,400 $ (26,200 ) $132,200 In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $59,300 variable and $17,500 fixed, and operating expenses are $31,400 variable and $18,100 fixed. None of the Percy Divisions fixed costs will be eliminated if the division is discontinued. Is Veronica right about eliminating the Percy Division? Prepare a schedule to support your answer.
