It determined that $340,000 of its fixed selling and administrative expense is traceable to the West region, $290,000 is traceable to the East region, and the remaining $24,000 is a common fixed expense. The company will continue to incur the total amount of its fixed manufacturing overhead costs as long as it continues to produce any amount of its only product. 6. What is the company's net operating income (loss) under absorption costing? 7. What is the amount of the difference between the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes (losses)? \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ Difference of Variable Costing and Absorption Costing Net Operating Income (Losses) } \\ \hline Variable costing net operating income (loss) \\ \hline & Absorption costing net operating income (loss) \\ \hline \end{tabular} a. What is the company's break-even point in unit sales? b. Is it above or below the actual unit sales? Below Above 9. If the sales volumes in the East and West regions had been reversed, what would be the company's overall break-even point in unit sales? 10. What would have been the company's variable costing net operating income (loss) if it had produced and sold 57,000 units? 11. What would have been the company's absorption costing net operating income (loss) if it had produced and sold 57,000 units? 13.

Diego is considering eliminating the West region because an internally generated report suggests the region's total gross margin in the first year of operations was $115,000 less than its traceable fixed selling and administrative expenses. Diego believes that if it drops the West region, the East region's sales will grow by 5% in Year 2 . Using the contribution approach for analyzing segment profitability and assuming all else remains constant in Year 2, what would be the profit impact of dropping the West region in Year 2? 15.
