Accounting

Current Attempt in Progress
Michelle Mars, a recent graduate of Bell's accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Sandhill Company's six divisions. Michelle made the following presentation to Sandhill's board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. "If the Percy Division is eliminated," she said, "our total profits would increase by $26,600."
\table[[,The Other Five Divisions,\table[[Percy],[Division]],Total],[Sales,$1,664,000,$100,000,$1,764,000],[Cost of goods sold,978,000,76,900,1,054,900],[Gross profit,686,000,23,100,709,100],[Operating expenses,526,300,49,700,576,000],[Net income,$159,700,$ (26,600),$133,100]]
In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $60,800 variable and $16,100 fixed, and operating expenses are $31,600 variable and $18,100 fixed. None of the Percy Division's fixed costs will be eliminated if the division is discontinued.
Is Michelle right about eliminating the Percy Division? Prepare a schedule to support your answer. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g.-45 or parentheses e.g.(45).)
