Lucy Ltd has three divisions which are in competition with each other, selling slightly different products. Annual results (including per unit sales) show:

Division A Division B Division C

Sales 6,000@$20 10,000@$14 14,000@$15

Variable costs $8 per unit $6 per unit $8 per unit

Fixed costs $11,000 $48,000 $15,000

The company believes that if it drops Division B, sales of Division A will increase by 3000 units and sales of Division C by 2000 units. Analysis reveals that $36,000 of fixed costs relating to Division B are avoidable for the company if Division B is closed.
