By examining sales and cost records, you have determined the following: a. The company is divided into two sales territories---Central and Eastern. The Central Territory recorded $400,000 in sales and $208,000 in variable expenses during May. The remaining sales and variable expenses were recorded in the Eastern Territory. Fixed expenses of $160, and $$130,000 are traceable to the Central and Eastern Territories, respectively. The rest of the fixed expenses are common to the two territories. b. The company is the exclusive distributor for two products ---Awls and Pows. Sales of Awls and Pows totaled$100,000 and $300,000, respectively, in the Central Territory during May. Variable expenses are 25% of the selling price for Awls and 61% for Pows. Cost records show that $60,000 of the Central Territory's fixed expenses are traceable to Awls and $54,000 to Pows, with the remainder common to the two products Required: 1. Prepare contribution format segment income statements, first showing the total company broken down between sales territories and then showing the Central Territory broken down by product line. In addition, for the company as a whole and for each segment, show each item on the segmented income statements as a percent of sales. 2.
