Chapter 13, Problem 26P
Problem 6-28A Eliminating a segment
Western Boot Co. sells men’s, women’s, and children’s boots. For each type of boot sold, it operates a separate department that has its own manager. The manager of the men’s department has a sales staff of nine employees, the manager of the women’s department has six employees, and the manager of the children’s department has three employees. All departments are housed in a single store. In recent years, the children’s department has operated at a net loss and is expected to continue to do so. Last year’s income statements follow:
| Men’s Department | Women’s Department | Children’s Department | |
| Sales | $ 250,000 | $ 300,000 | $ 60,000 |
| Cost of goods sold | (105,000) | (125,000) | (35,000) |
| Gross margin | 145,000 | 175,000 | 25,000 |
| Department manager’s salary | (26,000) | (30,000) | (12,000) |
| Sales commissions | (43,000) | (49,000) | (9,000) |
| Rent on store lease | (10,500) | (10,500) | (10,500) |
| Store utilities | (2,000) | (2,000) | (2,000) |
| Net income (loss) | $ 63,500 | $ 83,500 | $ (8,500) |
Required
- a. Determine whether to eliminate the children’s department.
- b. Confirm the conclusion you reached in Requirement a by preparing income statements for the company as a whole with and without the children’s department.
- c. Eliminating the children’s department would increase space available to display men’s and women’s boots. Suppose management estimates that a wider selection of adult boots would increase the store’s net earnings by $10,000. Would this information affect the decision that you made in Requirement a? Explain your answer.

Depreciation on the office equipment belongs to the office management activity. b. Of the 21,000 for office supplies and other expenses, 5,000 can be assigned to telephone costs which can be split evenly between the shipping and jobbers activities. An additional 2,400 per year is attributable to Internet connections and fees, and the bulk of these costs (80 percent) are assignable to research. The remainder is a cost of office management. All other office supplies and costs are assigned to the office management activity. Required: 1. Prepare an activity-based budget for next year by activity. Use the expected level of sales activity. 2. On the basis of the budget prepared in Requirement 1, advise Gene regarding actions that might be taken to reduce expenses. Olympus, Inc., manufactures three models of mattresses: the Sleepeze, the Plushette, and the Ultima. Forecast sales for next year are 15,000 for the Sleepeze, 12,000 for the Plushette, and 5,000 for the Ultima. Gene Dixon, vice president of sales, has provided the following information: a. Salaries for his office (including himself at 65,000, a marketing research assistant at 40,000, and an administrative assistant at 25,000) are budgeted for 130,000 next year. b. Depreciation on the offices and equipment is 20,000 per year. c. Office supplies and other expenses total 21,000 per year. d. Advertising has been steady at 20,000 per year. However, the Ultima is a new product and will require extensive advertising to educate consumers on the unique features of this high-end mattress. Gene believes the company should spend 15 percent of first-year Ultima sales for a print and television campaign. e. Commissions on the Sleepeze and Plushette lines are 5 percent of sales. These commissions are paid to independent jobbers who sell the mattresses to retail stores. f. Last year, shipping for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines averaged 50 per unit sold. Gene expects the Ultima line to ship for 75 per unit sold since this model features a larger mattress. Required: 1. Suppose that Gene is considering three sales scenarios as follows: Prepare a revenue budget for the Sales Division for the coming year for each scenario. 2. Prepare a flexible expense budget for the Sales Division for the three scenarios above.arrow_forwardAnalyze and compare Costco, Wal-Mart, and Nordstrom The general merchandise retail industry has a number of segments represented by the following companies: Company Name Merchandise Concept Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) Membership warehouse Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
