The Kelsh Company has two divisions--North and South. The divisions have the following revenues and expenses:

North South
Sales $900,000 $800,000
Variable expenses 450,000 300,000
Traceable fixed expenses 260,000 210,000
Allocated common corporate expenses 240,000 190,000
Net operating income (loss) ($50,000) $100,000

Management at Kelsh is pondering the elimination of the North Division. If the North Division were eliminated, its traceable fixed expenses could be avoided. The total common corporate expenses would be unaffected.

Given this data, the elimination of the North Division would result in an overall company operating income of:

a. 50,000
b. 150,000
c. (140,000)
d. 100,000

Answer:

c. (140,000)

Explanation:

Effect on net income of dropping the North Division:

Sales                                       $(900,000)

Variable expenses                 $450,000

Contribution margin               $(450,000)

Traceable fixed expenses     $260,000

Effect on net income            ($190,000)

Since the North Division currently have Net operating income (loss) of ($50,000), so therefore, after dropping the North Division, the overall company net operating loss will be $140,000 ($50,000 - $190,000).

Market screening is a method of market analysis and assessment that permits management to identify a small number of desirable markets by eliminating those judged to be less attractive.
When considering initial entry into international markets, or later expansion of international presence, companies Inust screen the large number of potential markets to identify the smaller subset of most promising candidates. This exercise examines one type of market screening, called country screening, and reviews the steps in this screening process as well as key tasks and considerations in each step.
Place the country screening steps in the order they occur, from first to last.

Assume that Jordan ​Enterprises's radio broadcast license is renewable at the end of each 10​-year term and management has provided evidence that approval of the renewal is highly probable. In this​ case, the broadcast license qualifies as an​indefinite-life intangible asset and is not subject to amortization.​ Therefore, the firm carries the broadcast license at its original cost of $786,000.
On December ​31, 2015 the company noted substantial declines in radio advertising revenues over the past year due to expanded satellite radio​subscriptions, Internet​ broadcasts, and the use of iPod players. Based on the required annual review and consideration of the available impairment​ indicators, management believes that it is more likely than not that the broadcast license may be impaired.​ Therefore, the company must test the broadcast license for impairment. Similar broadcast licenses have been sold in auctions for $676,000.
Assuming that renewal of the broadcast license is probable for this​ indefinite-life intangible​ asset, analyze the accounting for impairment and prepare the journal entries.
1.) Conduct the impairment test indicated for​indefinite-life intangible asset at the end of the year and determine the impairment​ loss, if any. ​(If you selected​ "No" that an impairment loss is not​ indicated, then leave the impairment loss input cell blank. Show a loss with a parentheses or minus​ sign.)
2.) Next, prepare the journal entry required to record any impairment loss. ​(Record debits​ first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal entries. If no entry is required select​ "No Entry​ Required" on the first line of the journal entry table and leave all remaining cells in the table​blank.)
