Central

indirect costs are allocated to shops in proportion to their sales margin.

 

At

the management meeting, the finance and accounts manager suggests closing the

Gisors shop:

"This would improve the company's results".

She

explained that by closing the Gisors shop, the company would incur costs of €250,000

(redundancy costs, costs inherent in the closure, including a loss on the sale

of equipment from the Gisors shop),

over N+1 alone.

However,

central indirect costs would fall by €100,000 (thanks to the simplification of

the logistics organisation).

 

Calculate the impact of the closure of

Gisors on InterJardin Vexin's operating income

in N+2.
