Toxaway Company is a merchandiser that segments its business into two divisions-Commercial and Residential. The company's accounting intern was asked to prepare segmented income statements that the company's divisional managers could use to calculate their break-even points and make decisions. She took the prior month's companywide income statement and prepared the absorption format segmented income statement shown below: Total Company Commercial Residential $1,050,000 350,000 700,000 682,500 Sales 178,500 504, 000 Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses 367,500 320,000 171,500 144, 000 196,000 176,000 $47,500 27,500 20,000 Net operating income In preparing these statements, the intern determined that Toxaway's only variable selling and administrative expense is a 10% sales commission on all sales. The company's total fixed expenses include $57,000 of common fixed expenses that would continue to be incurred even if the Commercial or Residential segments are discontinued, $90,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Commericial segment is dropped, and $68,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Residential segment is dropped Required 1.
