XYZ currently has two divisions which had the following operating results for last year: Cork Division Rubber Division
Sales $480,000 $290,000
Variable costs 200,000 180,000
Contribution margin 280,000 110,000
Traceable fixed costs 160,000 100,000
Segment margin 120,000 10,000
Allocated common
corporate fixed costs 60,000 30,000
Net operating income (loss) $60,000 $(20,000)

Because the Rubber Division sustained a loss, the president of Vanikoro is considering the elimination of this division. All of the division's traceable fixed costs could be avoided if the division was dropped. None of the allocated common corporate fixed costs could be avoided. If the Rubber Division was dropped at the beginning of last year, how much higher or lower would Vanikoro's total net operating income have been for the year?

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
