Toxaway Company is a merchandiser that segments its business into two divisions—Commercial and Residential. The company’s accoun

ting 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
Sales $ 750,000 $ 250,000 $ 500,000
Cost of goods sold 500,000 140,000 360,000

Gross margin 250,000 110,000 140,000
Selling and administrative expenses 240,000 104,000 136,000

Net operating income $ 10,000 $ 6,000 $ 4,000

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 $72,000 of common fixed expenses that would continue to be incurred even if the Commercial or Residential segments are discontinued, $38,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Residential segment is dropped, and $55,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Commericial segment is dropped.
