Total operating costs 938,000 865,000
Operating income (loss) $212,000 $(45,000)
The equipment has a zero disposal value. In a senior management meeting, Maria Lopez, the management accountant at Sanchez Corporation, makes the following comment, "Sanchez can increase its profitability by closing down the Rhode Island store or by adding another store like it."
1. By closing down the Rhode Island store, Sanchez can reduce overall corporate overhead costs by $44,000. Calculate Sanchez’s operating income if it closes the Rhode Island store. Is Maria Lopez’s statement about the effect of closing the Rhode Island store correct? Explain.
2. Calculate Sanchez’s operating income if it keeps the Rhode Island store open and opens another store with revenues and costs identical to the Rhode Island store (including a cost of $22,000 to acquire equipment with a one-year useful life and zero disposal value). Opening this store will increase corporate overhead costs by $4,000. Is Maria Lopez’s statement about the effect of adding another store like the Rhode Island store correct? Explain.
