Exercise 20-15 Veronica Mars, a recent graduate of Bell's accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Company's six divisions. Veronica made the following presentation to Dunn's board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. "If the Percy Division is eliminated," she said, "our total profits would increase by $26,600." Sales Cost of goods sold Gross profit Operating expenses Net income The Other Percy Five Divisions Division $1,664,000 $100,000 978,000 76,900 686,000 23,100 526,300 49,700 $159,700 $ (26,600) Total $1,764,000 1,054,900 709,100 576,000 $133,100 In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $60,800 variable and $16,100 fixed, and operating expenses are $31,600 variable and $18,100 fixed. None of the Percy Division's 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.
