Question

For the past year, WOOLCORP has experimented with his third product, extra thick rug yarn. The company wishes to consider whether to continue or discontinue manufacturing and selling this product. You decide to prepare a differential analysis of the income related to all three products. To begin your analysis you review the following condensed income statement. Complete the following table using the data in the preceding income statement to compare the effects of dropping the rug yarn line of products.

### WoolCorp Production Analysis

WoolCorp purchases sheep’s wool from farmers. The company began operations in January of this year and is currently making decisions on product offerings, pricing, and vendors. A production manager has been hired to evaluate the method of assigning overhead to products.

#### Product Lines
WoolCorp manufactures three products:
1. Raw wool for stuffing or insulation.
2. Wool yarn for use in the textile industry.
3. Extra-thick yarn for use in rugs.

Upper management is seeking recommendations on whether to continue or discontinue their existing and proposed product lines.

#### Continue/Discontinue Analysis
Over the past year, WoolCorp experimented with producing extra-thick rug yarn. Management is considering its continuation based on financial performance. A differential analysis is required to evaluate the income related to all three products. As part of this process, a condensed income statement for the year ending December 31, 20Y8, has been prepared.
