If the Linens Department is dropped, what will be the effect on the net operating income of the company as a whole? |
Contribution margin for Hardware would be=$2,276,000*(1-0.14)=1,957,360
Less:Fixed expenses for Hardware=(1,430,000)
Net operating income for Hardware=$527360
Less:Unavoidable fixed cost for Linens=(373000)
Total Net operating income would be=$154360
Hence financial disadvantage=818,000-154360
