Judy Jean, a recent graduate of Rolling?s accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Artie Company?s six divisions. Judy made the following presentation to Artie?s board of directors and suggested the Huron Division be eliminated. ?If the Huron Division is eliminated,? she said, ?our total profits would increase by $25,790.?

The Other Five Divisions	Huron Division	Total
Sales	$1,663,020	$100,350	$1,763,370
Cost of goods sold	978,760	76,120	1,054,880
Gross profit	684,260	24,230	708,490
Operating expenses	526,490	50,020	576,510
Net income	$157,770	$ (25,790)	$131,980

In the Huron Division, cost of goods sold is $60,700 variable and $15,420 fixed, and operating expenses are $24,700 variable and $25,320 fixed. None of the Huron Division?s fixed costs will be eliminated if the division is discontinued. Prepare an incremental analysis. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
