Winslow Inc. manufactures and sells three types of shoes. The income statements prepared under the absorption costing method for the three shoes are as follows:

Winslow Inc.
Product Income Statements—Absorption Costing
For the Year Ended December 31, 20Y1
  Cross Training Shoes Golf Shoes Running Shoes
Revenues $5,800,000    $6,900,000    $4,200,000   
Cost of goods sold (3,016,000)   (3,381,000)   (2,814,000)  
Gross profit $2,784,000    $3,519,000    $1,386,000   
Selling and administrative expenses (2,436,000)   (2,484,000)   (2,142,000)  
Operating income $348,000    $1,035,000    $(756,000)  

In addition, you have determined the following information with respect to allocated fixed costs:

  Cross Training Shoes Golf Shoes Running Shoes
Fixed costs:      
Cost of goods sold $928,000   $897,000   $798,000  
Selling and administrative expenses 696,000   828,000   588,000  

These fixed costs are used to support all three product lines and will not change with the elimination of any one product. In addition, you have determined that the effects of inventory may be ignored.

The management of the company has deemed the profit performance of the running shoe line as unacceptable. As a result, it has decided to eliminate the running shoe line. Management does not expect to be able to increase sales in the other two lines. However, as a result of eliminating the running shoe line, management expects the profits of the company to increase by $756,000.

a. Are management’s decision and conclusions correct?

Management’s decision and conclusion are 

 
. The profit 
 
 be improved because the fixed costs used in manufacturing and selling running shoes 
 
 be avoided if the line is eliminated.

 

 
 
Feedback
 

Consider the impact the elimination of the running shoe line would have on the fixed costs.

b. Prepare a variable costing income statement for the three products. Enter a net loss as a negative number using a minus sign.
