Question

Brislin Company has four operating divisions. During the first quarter of 2020, the company reported aggregate income from operations of $210,600 and the following divisional results.

    Division  
    I   II   III   IV  
Sales   $245,000   $197,000   $504,000   $450,000  
Cost of goods sold   200,000   192,000   301,000   249,000  
Selling and administrative expenses   72,400   63,000   58,000   50,000  
Income (loss) from operations   $ (27,400)   $ (58,000)   $145,000   $151,000  


Analysis reveals the following percentages of variable costs in each division.

    I     II     III     IV    
Cost of goods sold   73 %   91 %   82 %   75 %  
Selling and administrative expenses   39     59     50     61    


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.

Prepare a columnar condensed income statement for Brislin Company, assuming Division II is eliminated. Division II’s unavoidable fixed costs are allocated equally to the continuing divisions. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
