Answer: The segment margin is obtained by deducting the common fixed costs that have been allocated to a segment from that segment's contribution margin

Segment margin is referred to the net profit or the net loss that a particular segment of a business makes. Segment margin is used to know segments that are performing well.

It is also used to know the long-run profitability of a particular segment as it shows the margin that is available after the cost has been covered by a segment.

Based on the above illustration, the statement that isn't true will be "the segment margin is obtained by deducting the common fixed costs that have been allocated to a segment from that segment's contribution margin".

This is false as segment margin is gotten after the traceable fixed costs of a segment has been subtracted from the contribution margin of that particular segment.
