Boyle’s Home Center, a retailing company, has two departments, Bath and Kitchen. The company’s most recent monthly contribution format income statement follows:

				Department
	Total			Bath			Kitchen
Sales	$	5,000,000		$	1,000,000		$	4,000,000
Variable expenses		1,900,000			300,000			1,600,000
Contribution margin		3,100,000			700,000			2,400,000
Fixed expenses		2,700,000			900,000			1,800,000
Net operating income (loss)	$	400,000		$	(200,000	)	$	600,000

A study indicates that $370,000 of the fixed expenses being charged to the Bath Department are sunk costs or allocated costs that will continue even if the Bath Department is dropped. In addition, the elimination of the Bath Department would result in a 10% decrease in the sales of the Kitchen Department.
