Mohave Corp. is considering eliminating a product from its Sand Trap line of beach umbrellas. This collection is aimed at people who spend time on the beach or have an outdoor patio near the beach. Two products, the Indigo and Verde umbrellas, have impressive sales. However, sales for the Azul model have been dismal. Mohave's information related to the Sand Trap line is shown below. Segmented Income Statement for Mohave's Sand Trap Beach Umbrella Products Indigo Verde Azul Sales revenue $60,000 $60,000 $30,000 Variable costs 34,000 31,000 26,000 Contribution margin $26,000 $29,000 $ 4,000 Less: Direct fixed costs 1,900 2,500 2,000 Segment margin $ 24,100 $26,500 2,000 Common fixed costs* 17,840 17,840 8,920 Net operating income (loss) $ 6,260 $ 8,660 $(6,920) Total $ 150,000 91,000 $ 59,000 6,400 $ 52,600 44,600 $ 8,000 *Allocated based on total sales revenue Mohave has determined that eliminating the Azul model would cause sales of the Indigo and Verde models to increase by 10 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Variable costs for these two models would increase proportionately. Although the direct fixed costs could be eliminated, the common fixed costs are unavoidable. The common fixed costs would be redistributed to the remaining two products. Required: 1-a. Complete the table given below, assuming Mohave Corp. drops the Azul line. 1-b.
