The company is divided into two sales territories—Northern and Southern. The Northern Territory recorded $400,000 in sales and $168,000 in variable expenses during June; the remaining sales and variable expenses were recorded in the Southern Territory. Fixed expenses of $204,000 and $120,000 are traceable to the Northern and Southern Territories, respectively. The rest of the fixed expenses are common to the two territories.

Variable expenses are 23% of the selling price for Paks and 63% for Tibs.
