The company gathered the following additional information to assist in making the decision: Annual sales at the satellite location Ingredient costs as a percent of sales Monthly rent at satellite location (the lease is cancelable) Average monthly utility expense at satellite location Part-time store managers' combined annual wages at satellite location Annual hourly wages paid to additional employees at satellite location Annual hours spent by salaried managers at the main shop location supporting the satellite location other annual expenses: Annual depreciation expense on satellite store's equipment (no salvage value) Annual pickup truck and cargo trailer depreciation, insurance, registration, and vehicle tax Annual manufacturing overhead at main shop location (e.g., equipment depreciation, rent, utilities, insurance, etc.) The salaried managers working at the main shop will be retained whether the satellite store closes or remains open. The part-time store managers and additional hourly employees working at the satellite location would not be retained if it closes. Required: 1.
