Veronica Mars, a recent graduate of Bells accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Sunland Companys six divisions. Veronica made the following presentation to Sunlands board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. If the Percy Division is eliminated, she said, our total profits would increase by $26,100.

		The Other Five Divisions		Percy Division			Total
Sales		$1,664,000		$100,300			$1,764,300
Cost of goods sold		977,900		76,300			1,054,200
Gross profit		686,100		24,000			710,100
Operating expenses		528,000		50,100			578,100
Net income		$158,100		$ (26,100	)		$132,000

In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $59,300 variable and $17,000 fixed, and operating expenses are $31,600 variable and $18,500 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).)
