Top management doesn't understand why the Glass Division has such a low segment margin when its sales are only 25 less than sales in the Plastics Division. Accordingly, management has directed that the Glass Division be further segmented into product lines. The following information is available on the product lines in the Glass Division:


Glass Division Product Lines
Flat Glass Auto Glass Specialty Glass
Sales R496,000 702,000 309,000
Traceable fixed expenses:
Advertising R79,600 R112,100 R119,700
Depreciation R25,100 R55,600 R32,700
Administration R29,500 R34,800 R42,100
Variable expenses as a percentage of sales 66% 40% 52%


Analysis shows that R112,300 of the Glass Division's administration expenses are common to the product lines.

Requirement 1:

Prepare a contribution format segmented income statement for the Glass Division with segments defined as product lines.(Negative amounts other than the expenses should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit the "R" sign in your response.)

Requirement 2:

Management is surprised by Specialty Glass's poor showing and would like to have the product line segmented by market. The following information is available about the two markets in which Specialty Glass is sold:


Specialty Glass Markets
Domestic Foreign
Sales R206,000 R103,000
Traceable fixed expenses:
Advertising R39,600 R80,100
Variable expenses as a percentage of sales 43% 70%

All of Specialty Glass's depreciation and administration expenses are common to the markets in which the product is sold. Calculate the following for the Specialty Glass product line with segments defined as markets.(Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit the "R" sign in your response.)


Domestic market segment margin R
Foreign market segment margin R
Product line segment margin R

Requirement 3:
(a)

Refer to the statement prepared in (Requirement 1) above. The sales manager wants to run a special promotional campaign on one of the products over the next month. A market study indicates that such a campaign would increase sales of Flat Glass by R199,000 or sales of Auto Glass by R146,000. The campaign would cost R29,000. Calculate the increased net operating income.(Omit the "R" sign in your response.)
