Walker Company

Segmented Income Statements –

	Blenders	Coffeemakers	Total
Sales Revenue	$2,200,000	$1,125,000	$3,325,000
Variable expenses	$2,000,000	$1,075,000	$3,075,000
Contribution margin	$200,000	$50,000	$250,000
Direct traceable expenses	$90,000	$45,000	135,000
Segment Margin	$110,000	$5,000	$115,000
Common fixed costs			$115,000
Operating income			$0

Blenders–

Sales = 100,000 x $22 = $2,200,000

Variable cost = 100,000 x $20 = $200,000

Avoidable fixed cost = direct traceable costs = $90,000

Coffeemakers –

Sales = 25,000 x$45 = $1,125,000

Variable cost = 25,000 x $43 = $1,075,000

Avoidable fixed cost = direct traceable costs = $45,000

Effect on profit if -

Coffeemaker line is dropped:

If coffeemaker line is dropped the segment margin of $5,000 will be lost and the overall profits of the company will decrease by $5,000.

The common fixed costs burden would be borne by Blenders resulting in a loss of $5,000 to the company.

Blenders line is dropped:

If blenders line is dropped the segment margin of $110,000 will be lost and the overall profits of the company will decrease by $110,000. The common fixed costs remain unabsorbed resulting in a loss of $110,000 to the company.

Incremental revenue from sale of additional 10,000 blenders at $20.50 on a special-order basis = 10,000 x $20.50 = $205,000

Less: incremental costs – variable costs = 10,000 x $20 = $200,000

Increase in net income = $5,000
