Veronica Mars, a recent graduate of Bells accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Companys six divisions. Veronica made the following presentation to Dunns board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. If the Percy Division is eliminated, she said, our total profits would increase by $27,000.

		The Other Five Divisions		Percy Division			Total
Sales		$1,663,000		$100,300			$1,763,300
Cost of goods sold		978,700		76,800			1,055,500
Gross profit		684,300		23,500			707,800
Operating expenses		527,700		50,500			578,200
Net income		$156,600		$ (27,000	)		$129,600

In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $60,000 variable and $16,800 fixed, and operating expenses are $30,800 variable and $19,700 fixed. None of the Percy Divisions fixed costs will be eliminated if the division is discontinued. Is Veronica right about eliminating the Percy Division? Prepare a schedule to support your answer. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
