A segmented income statement is shown below.

Engineering		$77,000			Engineering hours		700		77	223
Setting up		197,000			Setup hours		12,000		12,500	29,223
Customer service		113,000			Service calls		13,700		1,480	19,223

In addition, Model 1 requires the rental of specialized equipment costing $18,000 per year.

Required:

1. Reformulate the segmented income statement using the additional information on activities. Use a minus sign to indicate any negative margins. Do NOT round interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest dollar. If amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank or enter "0".

Dropping Model 1 will add $ to operating income

3. What if Reshier Company can only avoid 186 hours of engineering time and 5,500 hours of setup time that are attributable to Model 1? How does that affect the alternatives presented in Requirement 2? Which alternative is more cost effective and by how much? Do NOT round interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
