![Differential Analysis for a Discontinued Product
A condensed income statement by product line for Warrick Beverage Inc. indicated
the following for Mango Cola for the past year:
Sales
$15,000,000
Cost of goods sold
(10,800,000)
Gross profit
$4,200,000
Operating expenses
(8,000,000)
>) Operating loss
$(3,800,000)
It is estimated that 30% of the cost of goods sold represents fixed factory overhead
costs and that 25% of the operating expenses are fixed. Because Mango Cola is only
one of many products, the fixed costs will not be materially affected if the product is
discontinued.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated February 29 to determine whether Mango
Cola should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). If an
amount is zero, enter "0". If required, use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
