    If the Bath Department is dropped, what will be the effect on the net operating incom
    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.
