Management is disappointed with the company’s performance and is wondering what can be |
|
done to improve profits. By examining sales and cost records, you have determined the following: |
|
a. The company is divided into two sales territories—Northern and Southern. The Northern territory |
|
recorded $300,000 in sales and $156,000 in variable expenses during June; the remaining |
|
|
sales and variable expenses were recorded in the Southern territory. Fixed expenses of |
|
|
$120,000 and $108,000 are traceable to the Northern and Southern territories, respectively. |
|
|
The rest of the fixed expenses are common to the two territories. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b. The company is the exclusive distributor for two products—Paks and Tibs. Sales of Paks and |
|
Tibs totaled $50,000 and $250,000, respectively, in the Northern territory during June. Variable |
|
expenses are 22% of the selling price for Paks and 58% for Tibs. Cost records show that |
|
|
$30,000 of the Northern territory’s fixed expenses are traceable to Paks and $40,000 to Tibs, |
|
|
with the remainder common to the two products. |

1. Prepare contribution format segmented income statements first showing the total company |
|
broken down between sales territories and then showing the Northern territory broken down |
|
by product line. In addition, for the company as a whole and for each segment, show each item |
|
on the segmented income statements as a percent of sales. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. Look at the statement you have prepared showing the total company segmented by sales territory. |
|
What insights revealed by this statement should be brought to the attention of management? |

3. Look at the statement you have prepared showing the Northern territory segmented by product |
