Corporate fixed costs are allocated to the divisions based on relative sales. Assume that all of a division’s direct fixed costs could be avoided by eliminating that division. Because the U.S. division is operating at a loss, Borderland’s president is considering eliminating it.
a. If the U.S. division had been eliminated at the beginning of the year, what would have been Borderland’s pre-tax income?
b. Recast the income statements into a more meaningful format than the one given. Why would total corporate operating results change from the $108,000 loss to the results determined in part (a)?
