Top management cant understand why the Leather Division has such a low segment margin when its sales are only 20% less than sales in the Cloth Division. As one step in isolating the problem, management has directed that the Leather Division be further segmented into product lines. The following information is available on the product lines in the Leather Division:

	Leather Division Product Lines
	Garments			Shoes			Handbags
Sales	R	700,000		R	900,000		R	640,000
Traceable fixed expenses:
Advertising	R	67,000		R	131,000		R	187,000
Selling and administrative	R	49,000		R	54,000		R	61,000
Depreciation	R	38,000		R	75,000		R	20,000
Variable expenses as a percentage of sales		60	%		30	%		60	%

Analysis shows that R72,000 of the Leather Divisions selling and administrative expenses are common to the product lines.

Required: 1. Prepare a contribution format segmented income statement for the Leather Division, with segments defined as product lines.

2. Management is surprised by the handbag product lines poor showing and would like to have the product line segmented by market. The following information is available about the markets in which the handbag line is sold:

	Handbag Markets
	Domestic			Foreign
Sales	R	400,000		R	240,000
Traceable fixed expenses:
Advertising	R	68,000		R	119,000
Variable expenses as a percentage of sales		42	%		90	%

All of the handbag product lines selling and administrative expenses and depreciation are common to the markets in which the product is sold. Prepare a contribution format segmented income statement for the handbag product line with segments defined as markets.

3. Refer to the statement prepared in (1) above. The sales manager wants to run a special promotional campaign on one of the product lines over the next month. A marketing study indicates that such a campaign would increase sales of the Garments product line by R219,000 or sales of the shoes product line by R164,000. The campaign would cost R34,000.

a. Compute the increased operating income for these product lines for the expected increased sales.
