Due to its poor showing, consideration is being given to closing Store B. Studies show that if Store B is closed, one fourth of its traceable fixed expenses will continue unchanged. The studies also show that closing Store B would result in a 10 percent decrease in sales in Store A. The company allocates common fixed expenses to the stores on the basis of sales dollars.

Required:

Determine the monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) of closing Store B. (Provide side by side comparison calculations)
