The alligator segment of louisiana specialty meats is operating at a loss and has the following data: sales $600,000 variable expenses 420,000 fixed expenses 300,000 if the alligator segment is eliminated, what will be the effect on the remaining company? assume that 50% of the fixed expenses will be eliminated and the rest will be allocated to the segments of the remaining company.

$30,000 decrease.

Explanation:

If the Alligator segment is eliminated, the $180,000 contribution margin ($600,000 - $420,000) will be eliminated but only $150,000 ($300,000 x .50) of the fixed costs will be eliminated resulting in a decrease of $30,000 net income ($150,000 fixed cost - $180,000 contribution margin).

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
