Keep-Or-Drop Decision, Alternatives, Relevant Costs

Reshier Company makes three types of rug shampooers. Model 1 is the basic model rented through hardware stores and supermarkets. Model 2 is a more advanced model with both dry-and wet-vacuuming capabilities. Model 3 is the heavy-duty riding shampooer sold to hotels and convention centers. A segmented income statement is shown below.

Model 1 Model 2 Model 3 Total
Sales $265,000 $574,000 $601,500 $1,440,500
Less variable costs of goods sold (86,500) (150,440) (351,200) (588,140)
Less commissions (4,700) (31,500) (22,000) (58,200)
     Contribution margin $173,800 $392,060 $228,300 $794,160
Less common fixed expenses:
     Fixed factory overhead (415,000)
     Fixed selling and administrative (291,000)
Operating income $88,160

While all models have positive contribution margins, Reshier Company is concerned because operating income is less than 10 percent of sales and is low for this type of company. The company’s controller gathered additional information on fixed costs to see why they were so high. The following information on activities and drivers was gathered:

Driver Usage by Model
Activity Activity Cost Activity Driver Model 1 Model 2 Model 3
Engineering $85,000 Engineering hours 740 77 183
Setting up 175,000 Setup hours 12,200 13,400 29,183
Customer service 110,000 Service calls 13,600 1,400 19,183

In addition, Model 1 requires the rental of specialized equipment costing $19,000 per year.

Required: 1. Reformulate the segmented income statement using the additional information on activities. Use a minus sign to indicate any negative margins. Do NOT round interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest dollar. ( can you please provide detail solutions)
