Profits have been decreasing for several years at Pegasus Airlines. In an effort to improve the company’s performance, the company is thinking about dropping several flights that appear to be unprofitable.
A typical income statement for one round-trip of one such flight (flight 482) is as follows:
The following additional information is available about flight 482:
Members of the flight crew are paid fixed annual salaries, whereas the flight assistants are paid based on the number of round trips they complete.
One-third of the liability insurance is a special charge assessed against flight 482 because in the opinion of the insurance company, the destination of the flight is in a “high-risk” area. The remaining two-thirds would be unaffected by a decision to drop flight 482.
The baggage loading and flight preparation expense is an allocation of ground crews’ salaries and depreciation of ground equipment. Dropping flight 482 would have no effect on the company’s total baggage loading and flight preparation expenses.
If flight 482 is dropped, Pegasus Airlines has no authorization at present to replace it with another flight.
Aircraft depreciation is due entirely to obsolescence. Depreciation due to wear and tear is negligible.
Dropping flight 482 would not allow Pegasus Airlines to reduce the number of aircraft in its fleet or the number of flight crew on its payroll.
Required:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing flight 482?

9. Come-Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial...
Come-Clean Corporation produces a variety of cleaning compounds and solutions for both industrial and household use. While most of its products are processed independently, a few are related, such as the company’s Grit 337 and its Sparkle silver polish. Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs $1.60 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $7.80 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $5.00 per jar. This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish. The additional direct costs involved in the processing of a jar of silver polish are: Other ingredients $ 0.60 Direct labor 1.36 Total direct cost $ 1.96 Overhead costs associated with processing the silver polish are: Variable manufacturing overhead cost 25% of direct labor cost Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month): Production supervisor $ 3,300 Depreciation of mixing equipment $ 1,600 The production supervisor has no duties other than to oversee production of the silver polish. The mixing equipment is special-purpose equipment acquired specifically to produce the silver polish. Its resale value is negligible and it does not wear out through use. Direct labor is a variable cost at Come-Clean Corporation. Advertising costs for the silver polish total $1,700 per month. Variable selling costs associated with the silver polish are 5% of sales. Due to a recent decline in the demand for silver polish, the company is wondering whether its continued production is advisable. The sales manager feels that it would be more profitable to sell all of the Grit 337 as a cleaning powder. Required: 1. What is the incremental contribution margin per jar from further processing of Grit 337 into silver polish? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. What is the minimum number of jars of silver polish that must be sold each month to justify the continued processing of Grit 337 into silver polish? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
