Question

Show-Off, Inc. sells merchandise through three retail outlets—in Las Vegas, Reno, and Sacramento—and operates a general corporate headquarters in Reno. A review of the company’s income statement indicates a record year in terms of sales and profits. Management, though, desires additional insights about the individual stores and has asked that Judson Wyatt, a newly hired intern, prepare a segmented income statement. The following information has been extracted from Show-Off’s accounting records:

• The sales volume, sales price, and purchase price data follow:

	Las Vegas			Reno			Sacramento
Sales volume		39,000	units		43,000	units		46,800	units
Unit selling price	$	38.00		$	36.50		$	34.25
Unit purchase price		18.25			18.25			24.00

• The following expenses were incurred for sales commissions, local advertising, property taxes, management salaries, and other noncontrollable (but traceable) costs:

	Las Vegas			Reno			Sacramento
Sales commissions		8	%		8	%		8	%
Local advertising	$	18,500		$	43,000		$	132,000
Local property taxes		7,750			4,000			15,000
Sales manager salary		—			—			78,000
Store manager salaries		56,500			78,500			97,000
Other noncontrollable costs		10,700			7,900			46,700

1. Local advertising decisions are made at the store manager level. The sales manager’s salary in Sacramento is determined by the Sacramento store manager; in contrast, store manager salaries are set by Show-Off’s vice president.

• Nontraceable fixed corporate expenses total $388,450.
• The company uses a responsibility accounting system.
