Toxaway Company is a merchandiser that segments its business into two divisionsCommercial and Residential. The companys accounting intern was asked to prepare segmented income statements that the companys divisional managers could use to calculate their break-even points and make decisions. She took the prior months companywide income statement and prepared the absorption format segmented income statement shown below:

	Total Company			Commercial			Residential
Sales	$	870,000		$	290,000		$	580,000
Cost of goods sold		571,300			153,700			417,600
Gross margin		298,700			136,300			162,400
Selling and administrative expenses		272,000			120,000			152,000
Net operating income	$	26,700		$	16,300		$	10,400

In preparing these statements, the intern determined that Toxaways only variable selling and administrative expense is a 10% sales commission on all sales. The companys total fixed expenses include $75,000 of common fixed expenses that would continue to be incurred even if the Commercial or Residential segments are discontinued, $66,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Commercial segment is dropped, and $44,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Residential segment is dropped.

1) Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the Commercial Division and for the Residential Division.

2) Assume the company decided to pay its sales representatives in the Commercial and Residential Divisions a total monthly salary of $19,000 and $38,000, respectively, and to lower its companywide sales commission percentage from 10% to 5%. Calculate the new break-even point in dollar sales for the Commercial Division and the Residential Division.
