The flaw in the decision was the failure to focus on the differential revenues and costs, which indicate that operating income would be reduced by $30,000 if Chil- dren’s Shoes is discontinued. This differential income from sales of Children’s Shoes can be determined as follows:
Differential revenue from annual sales of Children’s Shoes: Revenue from sales ...................................................... $150,000 Differential cost of annual sales of Children’s Shoes:
|Variable cost of goods sold ......................................... |$90,000 | |
|Variable selling and administrative expenses ............ | 30,000 | 120,000 |
Annual differential income from sales of Children’s Shoes ............................................................................. $ 30,000

a. Proposal to Manufacture Carrying Case June 5, 2008
Purchase price of carrying case .................................. $68.00 Differential cost to manufacture carrying case: Direct materials.......................................................... $25.00 Direct labor................................................................. 32.00 Variable factory overhead (25% × $32) .................... 8.00 65.00 Cost savings from manufacturing carrying case ....... $ 3.00
b. It would be advisable to manufacture the carrying cases because the cost savings would be $3.00 per unit. Fixed factory overhead is irrelevant, since it will continue whether the carrying cases are purchased or manufactured.
