Assume that 50% of the fixed expenses will be eliminated and the rest will be allocated to the segments of the remaining company. $150,000 increase. $30,000 decrease. $360,000 increase. $30,000 increase.

Respuesta :

Answer:

$30,000 decrease

Explanation:

The computation of the effect of the remaining company is shown below:

Sales $600,000        

Less: variable Expenses -$420,000        

Contribution $180,000        

Less: Fixed Cost $150,000  ($300,000 × 50%)      

Net Income $30,000

If Alligator segment is eliminated, the net income should be decreased by  $30,000

We applied the above computation so the proper effect could arrive
