Answer 1

Answer:

Net income= $98,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Division A:

The contribution margin of $79,300

Division B:

Contribution margin of $126,200.

The total traceable fixed costs are $72,400 and total common fixed costs are $34,900.

To calculate the net operating income, we need to deduct from the combined contribution margin the fixed costs.

Net income= (79,300 + 126,200) - 72,400 - 34,900

Net income= $98,200
