Variable costs 310000 200000 $510000
contributing margin 310000 90000 $400000

allocated fixed costs 90000 45000 $135000
operating income (loss) 100000 (25000) $75000
Management is considering wether the Eastern Division should be discontinued since it incurred an operating lost last year. Allocated common fixed cost would
continue for Simpson Corporation whether the division is discontinued or not.
If the Eastern Division has been discontinued at the beginning of last year what would be the total operating income for Simpsom Corporation have been for the
year?
