1.Salary of new employee = $12,800
Delivery crew = $5,600
Sales Salaries = $62,200
Store manager Salaries = $29,000- 13,800 = $15,200
General Office Salaries = $6,900
Employee Salaries Avoided per Quarter = $102,700
2.Employment Taxes Avoided = 102,700*15% = $15,405
3.Financial Advantage = costs avoided –margin lost
= Direct Advertising cost + Store Rent +2/3rd Insurance +Utilities + Salaries Avoided + Taxes Avoided- 355,000
= 67,000 + 85,000 + 12,300*2/3 + 26,860 + 102,700 + 15,405 – 355,000
= -$49,835 i.e. disadvantage
4.North store should not be closed, as there is a loss in closing the store
5.Financial Advantage of closing the north store = Gross Margin from Increased sales of East Store – Disadvantage calculated above
= (828,000/1,840,000)*920,000*1/4 – 49,835
=$53,665
Since there is net advantage, the store should be closed.
