Safe and Secure, Inc. produces three models of home security systems. Information on the three products is given below:
Assurance | Decoder | Burglar Beware | |||||
Sales | $455,400 | $759,000 | $303,600 | ||||
Variable expenses | 227,700 | 303,600 | 212,520 | ||||
Contribution margin | 227,700 | 455,400 | 91,080 | ||||
Fixed expenses | 176,400 | 345,000 | 142,800 | ||||
Net income | $51,300 | $110,400 | $(51,720 | ) |
Fixed expenses consist of $446,600 of common costs allocated to the
three products based on relative sales, and additional fixed costs
of $44,400 (Assurance), $121,400 (Decoder), and $51,800 (Burglar
Beware). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many
models are produced. The other fixed expenses would be eliminated
if a model is phased out.
Matt Dillon, an executive with the company with extensive law
enforcement background, feels that the Burglar Beware line should
be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.
