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
Explanation:
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.
Answer:
26.66 or 27%
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety percentage is shown below:
Margin of Safety
= 100 - Break Even %
= 100 - 73.33
= 26.66 or 27%
Working Note
Sales (3,000 units) $60,000
Less: Variable expenses -$42,000
Contribution margin -$18,000
CM Ratio (A) 30.00%
Fixed expenses (B) 13,200
Break Even Point C = B ÷ A 44,000
Break Even % of Total Sale 73.33%
D, 12,500. Since she makes 50,000 she falls under the 25% zone and 25% of 50,000 is 12,500. Find that by doing 50,000 times 0.25
