Answer:
$41,650
Explanation:
Contribution margin is the net of sales and variable costs.
Contribution Margin:
Division A = $47,700
Division B = $231,000 x 35% = $80,850
Company calculates the Net Income after deducting The traceable and common fixed costs from the total contribution margin.
Total contribution margin = $47,700 + $80,850 = $128,550
Net Income = Total contribution margin - Traceable Fixed Expense - Common Fixed expenses
$27,200 = $128,550 - $59,700 - Common Fixed expenses
$27,200 = $68,850 - Common Fixed expenses
Common Fixed expenses = $68,850 - $27,200 = $41,650
