Explanation:
We need to find the segment margin of the deparment, which is equal to annual contribution margin minus avoidable fixed costs:
Wallen Corporation
Annual contribution margin $80,000
Annual fixed costs $160,000
Unavoidable fixed costs $90,000
Avoidable fixed costs $70,000
Segment Margin = Annual contribution margin - avoidable fixed costs
= $80,000 - $70,000
= $10,000
Therefore, if the company eliminated this department, it would have a financial advantage of $10,000, equivalent to the deparment's current segment margin.

All the other three are either completely fixed like salary, and depreciation, or either completely variable like electricity cost.
