The Kelsh Company has two divisions--North and South. The divisions have the following revenues and expenses:

North South Sales $900,000 $800,000
Variable expenses 450,000 300,000
Traceable fixed expenses 260,000 210,000
Allocated common corporate expenses 240,000 190,000
Net operating income (loss) ($50,000) $100,000

Management at Kelsh is pondering the elimination of the North Division. If the North Division were eliminated, its traceable fixed expenses could be avoided. The total common corporate expenses would be unaffected. Given this data, you will advise:

Company should not eliminate the North division.

Explanation:

Division B is individually making loss. Overall the company is making profit of $50,000.

After eliminating the North division the overall profit  will be converted into the loss of $140,000, because the common corporate expenses were shared by the both divisions, eliminating one cause the whole expense to be allocated to a single division.

Company should not eliminate the division as it will increase the total loss.
