Accounting

retail co. has two dept's, indoor and outdoor. The co.'s most recent monthly contribution format income statement is below: TOTAL OUTDOOR INDOOR Sales: 4,900,000 1,500,000 3,400,000 Variable Exp's: 2,200,000 800,000 1,400,000 Contribution Margin: 2,700,000 700,000 2,000,000 Fixed Exp's: 2,400,000 800,000 1,600,000 Net Operating Income (loss) 300,000 (100,000) 400,000 A study indicates that $400,000 of the fixed exp's being charged to the Outdoor dept are sunk costs ,or allocated costs that will continue even if the Outdoor dept is dropped. In addition, the elimination of the Outdoor dept. would result ina 10% decrease in the sales of the Indoor department. Ignore the impact of income taxes in your calculation. If the Outdoor Department is dropped what will be the effect on the net operating income of the company as a whole? (Enter the amount as a negative number if the effect is a reduction in NOI)
