Problem 20-05A a, b1-b3, c (Part Level Submission)
Brislin Company has four operating divisions. During the first
quarter of 2020, the company reported aggregate income from
operations of $212,000 and the following divisional
results.
| Division | |||||||||
| I | II | III | IV | ||||||
| Sales | $246,000 | $195,000 | $498,000 | $452,000 | |||||
| Cost of goods sold | 198,000 | 192,000 | 304,000 | 247,000 | |||||
| Selling and administrative expenses | 77,000 | 54,000 | 56,000 | 51,000 | |||||
| Income (loss) from operations | $ (29,000) | $ (51,000) | $138,000 | $154,000 | |||||
Analysis reveals the following percentages of variable costs in
each division.
| I | II | III | IV | ||||||||||
| Cost of goods sold | 73 | % | 92 | % | 77 | % | 79 | % | |||||
| Selling and administrative expenses | 41 | 60 | 48 | 62 |
Discontinuance of any division would save 50% of the fixed costs
and expenses for that division.
Top management is very concerned about the unprofitable divisions
(I and II). Consensus is that one or both of the divisions should
be discontinued.
Prepare a columnar condensed income statement for Brislin Company,
assuming Division II is eliminated. Division II’s unavoidable fixed
costs are allocated equally to the continuing divisions.
(Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign
preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g.
(45).)

Context: Muskogee County Choppers, till recently was a small ‘custom’ motorcycle/chopper production unit, designing and manufacturing custom motorcycles and trikes for a small regional market, mainly Oklahoma and Arkansas. The firm has seen an infusion of capital from a group of rich ‘angel investors’ who had a love for motorcycling. The firm is ‘small’ and even after innovation, capital infusion and growth will in no way match the major players like Harley, Honda, Kawasaki etc. Further, ‘trikes’ unlike motorcycles may be considered a ‘niche’ rather than mass market product.
With this infusion of capital, MCC is now a LLC (Limited Liability Company) and plans to make a foray into major markets, at least catering to Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas , Oklahoma, and New Mexico, starting with a ‘trike’ to compete with the Polaris Spyder or CANAM-Ryker. The MCC Trike is similar, with two front wheels and one rear wheel. It is 500cc, in contrast with other trikes that are normally with higher capacity engines (900 cc +). The Canam Ryker and Polaris Spyder are also like the MCC trike, in that they have two front and one rear wheel, unlike Harley trikes etc that have one front wheel and two rear wheels.
MCC is a new company and even with an infusion of capital from angel investors cannot compete with the financial strength of companies like Harley and Honda.
