Segment Net Income (loss)  (118,125)   92,325   (25,800) 

Workings:

w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage

Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923

Answer:

The best depiction of the information level given to a department manager versus that reported to a company vice-president is:

Department Manager Company Vice-President

B. Somewhat detailed Somewhat summarized

Explanation:

At the operational level of the organization, the information requirement is for detailed data to help the department manager act on operational decisions. At the tactical level where the vice-president operates, the information requirement is for data that is somewhat summarized but not too detailed. The highest level of the organizational hierarchy is the strategic level, where information requirement concentrates on detailed reports and not detailed data but highly summarized data.
