Exercise 11-17 Dropping or Retaining a Segment [LO11-2] Bed & Bath, a retailing company, has two departments—Hardware and Linens. The company’s most recent monthly contribution format income statement follows: Department Total Hardware Linens Sales $ 4,000,000 $ 3,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Variable expenses 1,300,000 900,000 400,000 Contribution margin 2,700,000 2,100,000 600,000 Fixed expenses 2,200,000 1,400,000 800,000 Net operating income (loss) $ 500,000 $ 700,000 $ (200,000 ) A study indicates that $340,000 of the fixed expenses being charged to Linens are sunk costs or allocated costs that will continue even if the Linens Department is dropped. In addition, the elimination of the Linens Department will result in a 10% decrease in the sales of the Hardware Department. Required:

Answer:

The financial disadvantage of discontinuing the Linens Department is a decrease of $440,000 in total net operating profit.

Explanation:

Note: The requirement of this question is omitted but it is provided before answering the question to complete question as follows:

Required:

What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Linens Department?

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Note: See the lower part of the attached excel file for Determination of the financial advantage (disadvantage) (in bold red color) of discontinuing the Linens Department.

In the attached excel file, it can be seen that discontinuing the Linens Department makes both its Sales and Variable Cost to be equal to zero while only its Fixed expenses falls from $800,000 to $340,000 which is sunk costs.

Since the elimination of the Linens Department will result in a 10% decrease in the sales of the Hardware Department, the sales of the Hardware Department after eliminating Linens Department is calculated as follows:

Sales of the Hardware Department after eliminating Linens Department = $3,000,000 * (100% - 10%) = $270,000

From the attached excel file, it can be seen that the total net operating income falls from $500,000 to $60,000 after eliminating Linens Department. This implies that the total net operating profit decreases by $440,000 (i.e. $500,000 - $60,000 = $440,000)

Therefore, the financial disadvantage of discontinuing the Linens Department is a decrease of $440,000 in total net operating profit.

Forever Ready Company expects to operate at 85% of productive capacity during May. The total manufacturing costs for May for the production of 34,000 batteries are budgeted as follows:
Direct materials $330,600
Direct labor 121,600
Variable factory overhead 34,000
Fixed factory overhead 68,000
Total manufacturing costs $554,200
The company has an opportunity to submit a bid for 3,000 batteries to be delivered by May 31 to a government agency. If the contract is obtained, it is anticipated that the additional activity will not interfere with normal production during May or increase the selling or administrative expenses.
What is the unit cost below which Forever Ready Company should not go in bidding on the government contract? Round your answer to two decimal places.

The following wordy, inefficient, and disorganized e-mail message invites department managers to three interviewing sessions to select student interns. However, to be effective, this message desperately needs a radical rewrite.

Your Task. Study the e-mail message and the list of ten weaknesses below the message. Then revise the message to correct each weakness. You revision needs to condense this sloppy 14-sentence message into 6 efficient sentences plus a list, and convey all the necessary information. Make all of your corrections directly to the message.

From: Nathan Weintraub

Subject: Interns
Staff:

As you may be aware, we have for the past year been considering changing our approach to interns. Your management council recently made a decision to offer compensation to the interns in our internship program because we learned that in two fields (computer science and information systems) interns are usually paid, which is the norm. However, we will be unable to offer any more than three internships.

In collaboration with our nearby college, we have narrowed the field to six excellent candidates. These six candidates will be interviewed. This is to inform you that you are required to attend three interviewing sessions for these student candidates. Your presence is needed at these sessions to help us avoid making poor selections.

You should mark your calendars for the following three times. We are scheduling the first set of interviews for April 5 to meet in the conference room. Please examine all the candidates’ résumés, which are attached, and send me your ranking lists.

The second interviewing session is scheduled for April 8 in Office 22 (the conference room was already scheduled). On April 11 we can finish up in the conference room. All of the meetings will start at 2 p.m. In view of the fact that your projects need fresh ideas and talented new team members, I should not have to urge you to attend and be well prepared.

2. Starts indirectly with an explanation instead of the main idea: scheduling interviews.
3. Fails to develop reader benefits, such as explaining why the readers should be interested.

5. Buries a verb (made a decision instead of decided).
6. Has a long lead-in (This is to inform you that).
7. Suffers from flabby expression (in view of the fact that), other wordiness, repetition, and a demanding tone.
8. Fails to make the interview dates and rooms highly readable with a list.
9. Inserts request (send me your ranking lists) in the middle of a paragraph instead of at the end of the message where action items should go.
10. Does not include an end date and reason for returning the ranking lists.

To increase productive capacity, a company is considering a proposed new plant. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. When estimating the project's operating cash flows, it is important to include both opportunity costs and sunk costs, but the firm should ignore the cash flow effects of externalities since they are accounted for in the discounting process. b. Since depreciation is a non-cash expense, the firm does not need to deal with depreciation when calculating the operating cash flows. c. The cost of capital used to discount cash flows in a capital budgeting analysis should be calculated on a before-tax basis. d. Capital budgeting decisions should be based on before-tax cash flows. e. In calculating the project's operating cash flows, the firm should not deduct financing costs such as interest expense, because financing costs are accounted for by discounting at the cost of capital. If interest were deducted when estimating cash flows, this would, in effect, "double count" it.

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.

Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?

Last year, Valley Manufacturing reported sales of $800,000, net operating income of $40,000, and average operating assets of $400,000.
