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).)
