Superior Markets, Inc., operates three stores in a large metropolitan area. A segmented absorption costing income statement for the company for the last quarter is given below:

The North Store has consistently shown losses over the past two years. For this reason, management is giving consideration to closing the store. The company has asked you to make a recommendation as to whether the store should be closed or kept open. The following additional
information is available for your use:

a. The breakdown of the selling and administrative expenses is as follows:

*Allocated on the basis of sales dollars.

*Allocated on the basis of sales dollars.

b. The lease on the building housing the North Store can be broken with no penalty.

c. The fixtures being used in the North Store would be transferred to the other two stores if the North Store were closed.

d. The general manager of the North Store would be retained and transferred to another position in the company if the North Store were closed. She would be filling a position that would otherwise be filled by hiring a new employee at a salary of $11,000 per quarter. The general manager of the North Store would be retained at her normal salary of $12,000 per quarter. All other employees in the store would be discharged.

e. The company has one delivery crew that serves all three stores. One delivery person could be discharged if the North Store were closed. This person’s salary is $4,700 per quarter. The delivery equipment would be distributed to the other stores. The equipment does not wear out through use, but does eventually become obsolete.

f. The company’s employment taxes are 15% of salaries.

g. One-third of the insurance in the North Store is on the store’s fixtures.

h. The “General office salaries” and “General office—other” relate to the overall management of Superior Markets, Inc. If the North Store were closed, one person in the general office could be discharged because of the decrease in overall workload. This person’s compensation is $6,000 per quarter.

Required:

1. Prepare a schedule showing the change in revenues and expenses and the impact on the company’s overall net operating income that would result if the North Store were closed. (Any losses/ reductions should be indicated by a minus sign.)

2. Based on your computations in (1) above, what recommendation would you make to the management of Superior Markets, Inc.?

3. Assume that if the North Store were closed, at least one-fourth of its sales would transfer to the East Store, due to strong customer loyalty to Superior Markets. The East Store has enough capacity to handle the increased sales. You may assume that the increased sales in the East Store would yield the same gross margin as a percentage of sales as present sales in that store.

a. Calculate the net advantage of closing the North Store. (Any losses should be indicated by a minus sign.)

b. What recommendation would you make to the management of Superior Markets, Inc.?

lease agreement states payments of R20,000 must be paid for six years on 31 May each year, starting on 31 May 2020. At the end of the six year period legal title of the asset will pass to Grantly.
● Grantly believes the only accounting entry he must make in relation to this asset is for the R20,000 payment he has made and he has treated this as an operating expense.
● Grantly acquired 600,000 ordinary shares in Clo on 1 June 2016 for R1,550,000 when the reserves of Clo were R200,000.
● At the date of acquisition of Clo, the fair value of its property was R375,000 higher than its book value and considered to have a remaining life of 10 years.

accumulated depreciation of R32,000.
ii) On 30 September 2020 YZ revalued its land to R9,500,000.

A billiard ball moving horizontally, labeled 1, strikes another billiard ball at rest, labeled 2. Before impact, ball 1 was moving at a speed of 2.45 m/s, and after impact it is moving at 0.60 m/s at 45° counterclockwise from the direction of the initial velocity. If the two balls have equal masses of 160 g, what is the velocity of ball 2 after the impact? (Assume ball 1 initially moves along the +x-axis. Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
