Miller Corporation has two major business segments-East and West. In July, the East business segment had sales revenues of $410,000, variable expenses of $220,000, and traceable fixed expenses of $48,000. During the same month, the West business segment had sales revenues of $1,080,000, variable expenses of $548,000, and traceable fixed expenses of $207,000. The common fixed expenses totaled $322,000 and were allocated as follows: $161,000 to the East business segment and $161,000 to the West business segment.
A properly constructed segmented income statement in a contribution format would show that the segment margin of the East business segment is:
$(29,000)
$220,000
$142,000
$(31,000)
When using data from a segmented income statement, the dollar sales for the company to break even overall is equal to:
A:(Traceable fixed expenses) ÷ Overall CM ratio
B:(Non-traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses) ÷ Overall CM ratio
C:(Allocated fixed expenses + Traceable fixed expenses) ÷ Overall CM ratio
D:(Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses) ÷ Overall CM ratio
