A study indicates that $372,000 of the fixed expenses being charged to the Bath Department are sunk costs or allocated costs that will continue even if the Bath Department is dropped. In addition, the elimination of the Bath Department would result in a 16% decrease in the sales of the Kitchen Department.

Required:
