Management is concerned about the continued losses of Jisoo and Rose and ask you a for a recommendation.
Salaries of product line managers could be eliminated if the respective unprofitable product line is
discontinued. The equipment used to produce each product can still be used for other purposes.
After careful evaluation, you provided the following options for the management to decide.
To discontinue the unprofitable product line and use its current equipment to produce La-Lisa which will
result to an increase in its sales by 20%.
To invest in improving equipment used in the production of the unprofitable product-line to reduce its
variable cost by 50%. The cost of improvement is P10,000, which will be depreciated on a straight-line
basis for five years. The cost of capital is 8%.
To cease the production of the unprofitable product line but instead purchase its entire product
requirement from Jennie, which is currently operating at excess capacity. Jennie, however, will need to
incur additional P5.00 per unit to adjust its products to the design set by the unprofitable product-line.
The managers agreed at a price equal to 140% of the total relevant costs incurred by Jennie. The unused
equipment will then be used to produce Jisoo, which will result to an increase in its sales by 50%.
Further, 95% of the existing variable costs of the unprofitable product line will be eliminated.
