Monty Company has four operating divisions. During the first quarter of 2017, the company reported aggregate income from operations of $218,700 and the following divisional results.
Division
I II III IV
Sales $253,000 $195,000 $501,000 $447,000
Cost of goods sold 197,000 194,000 296,000 250,000
Selling and administrative expenses 69,300 62,000 61,000 48,000
Income (loss) from operations $ (13,300) $ (61,000) $144,000 $149,000
Analysis reveals the following percentages of variable costs in each division.
I II III IV
Cost of goods sold 72 % 89 % 79 % 76 %
Selling and administrative expenses 40 57 52 59
Discontinuance of any division would save 50% of the fixed costs and expenses for that division.
Top management is very concerned about the unprofitable divisions (I and II). Consensus is that one or both of the divisions should be discontinued.
Compute the contribution margin for Divisions I and II. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
