The company sold 36,000 units in the East region and 12,000 units in the West region. It determined that $270,000 of its fixed selling and administrative expense is traceable to the West region, $220,000 is traceable to the East region, and the remaining $67,000 is a common fixed expense. The company will continue to incur the total amount of its fixed
14. Diego is considering eliminating the West region because an internally generated report suggests the region’s total gross margin in the first year of operations was $66,000 less than its traceable fixed selling and administrative expenses. Diego believes that if it drops the West region, the East region's sales will grow by 5% in Year 2. Using the contribution approach for analyzing segment profitability and assuming all else remains constant in Year 2, what would be the profit impact of dropping the West region in Year 2?
Introduction:
Total fixed cost is the total amount of money that a company must pay to keep its operations functioning, regardless of how many items it produces or sells. Total fixed costs are constant regardless of production or lack thereof. Fixed costs are those that persist even when production is at zero. Many of these expenses are known as overhead.
