Question

Differential Analysis for a Discontinued Product

A condensed income statement by product line for Healthy Beverage Inc. indicated the following for Fruit Cola for the past year:

Sales $237,100
Cost of goods sold 112,000
Gross profit $125,100
Operating expenses 143,000
Loss from operations $(17,900)

It is estimated that 12% of the cost of goods sold represents fixed factory overhead costs and that 20% of the operating expenses are fixed. Because Fruit Cola is only one of many products, the fixed costs will not be materially affected if the product is discontinued.

a.  Prepare a differential analysis dated January 5 to determine whether Fruit Cola should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
