If the contribution margin for Product P was $80,000, the segment margin for Product P was:
$62,000

$59,000

$62,000

$41,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Total Segment Margin = Net Operating Income + common fixed expenses

                                       = $ 25,000 + $ 37,000

                                       = $ 62,000

Total Segment Margin = Segment Margin of Q + Segment Margin of P

$ 62,000 = $ 21,000 + Segment Margin of P

or Segment Margin of P = $ 62,000 - $ 21,000

                                         = $ 41,000
