Answer:

Simpkin Corporation

Simpkin's apportionable income assigned to B is:________.

b. $533,333

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Apportionable operating income = $1,000,000

                   State A            State B           State C         Totals

Sales      $400,000        $800,000      $300,000   $1,500,000

Payroll       100,000           150,000          50,000        300,000

Property   200,000          200,000        200,000       600,000

State B's portion of the operating income = $1,000,000 * $800,000/$1,500

= $533,333
