Exercise 23-15 Vaughn Mars, a recent graduate of Bell's accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Company's six divisions. Vaughn 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."
