Determine the incremental analysis for the decision


Judy Jean, a recent graduate of Rolling's accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Artie Company's six divisions. Judy made the following presentation to the Artie board of directors and suggested the Huron Division be eliminated. "If the Huron Division is eliminated," she said, "our total profits would increase by $17,190."

In the Huron Division, cost of goods sold is $55,810 variable and $21,090 fixed, and operating expenses are $11,500 variable and $27,190 fixed. None of the Huron Division's fixed costs will be eliminated if the division is discontinued.

Prepare the incremental analysis for the decision to continue or eliminate the Huron division.
