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
Cost of goods sold
Gross profit
Operating expenses
Operating loss
It is estimated that 14% of the cost of goods sold
represents fixed factory overhead costs and that 18% 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.
