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 $ 26,100.

		The Other Five Divisions		Percy Division			Total
Sales		$ 1,663,000		$ 100,900			$ 1,763,900
Cost of goods sold		977,300		76,800			1,054,100
Gross profit		685,700		24,100			709,800
Operating expenses		528,400		50,200			578,600
Net income		$ 157,300		$ ( 26,100	)		$ 131,200

In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $ 59,500 variable and $ 17,300 fixed, and operating expenses are $ 31,000 variable and $ 19,200 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).)
