1. Keep-or-Drop Decision

   Petoskey Company produces three products: Alanson, Boyne, and Conway. A segmented income statement, with amounts given in thousands, follows:

   		Alanson		Boyne		Conway		Total
   Sales revenue		$1,280		$185		$315		$1,780
   Less: Variable expenses		1,115		45		221		1,381
   Contribution margin		$165		$140		$94		$399
   Less direct fixed expenses:
   	Depreciation	50		15		9		74
   	Salaries	95		85		108		288
   Segment margin		$20		$40		$(23)		$37

   Direct fixed expenses consist of depreciation and plant supervisory salaries. All depreciation on the equipment is dedicated to the product lines. None of the equipment can be sold.

   Assume that each of the three products has a different supervisor whose position would remain if the associated product were dropped.

   Required:
