Answer and Explanation:
a. The estimation of the contribution margin for each segment is shown below:
                                                       (in millions)
<u>Particulars            Investor Advisor             Services Services   </u>
Income from
operations              $1,681                                  $1,660
Add: 
Depreciation           $171                                     $154
Contribution 
Margin                    $1,852                                  $1,814
2. Now the estimation of decline in operating income is 
                                                    (in millions)
<u>Particulars         Combined services          Institutional Services   </u>
Revenues          $9,368                                $4,771
Less:
Variable cost    $5,702                                 $2,919
                     ($2,919 + $2,783)
Contribution 
margin               $3,666                                 $1,852
Less:
Fixed cost         -$325                                    -$171
Net income        $3,341                                  $1,681
So according to the above calculations, the net operating income is declined by
= $3,341 - $1,681
= $1,660 million 
The variable cost is come from 
= Service revenues - income from operations - depreciation expense
