Variable Costing Income Statement and Effect on Income of Change in Operations Kimbrell Inc. manufactures three sizes of utility tables small (S), medium (M), and large (L). The income statement has consistently indicated a net loss for the M size, and management is considering three proposals: (1) continue Size M, (2) discontinue Size M and reduce total output accordingly, or (3) discontinue Size M and conduct an advertising campaign to expand the sales of Size S so that the entire plant capacity can continue to be used. If Proposal 2 s selected and Size M is discontinued and production curtailed, the annual fixed production costs and bed operating expenses could be reduced by $142,500 and28,350, respectively. If proposal 3 is selected it is anticipated that an additional annual expenditure 85 050 or the salary a an assistant brand manager classified as a fixed operating expense would yield an additional 130% in Size S sales volume. It is also assumed that the increased production a size S would utilize the plant facilities released by the discontinuance of Size M. The sales and costs have been relatively stable over the past few years, and they are expected to remaln so for the foreseeable future.
