ACC 202 Problem
ACC 202 Problem
Bovine Company, a wholesale distributor of DVDs, has been experiencing losses for some time, as shown by its most recent monthly contribution format income statement below:
Sales | $ | 1,500,000 |
Variable expenses | 588,000 | |
Contribution margin | 912,000 | |
Fixed expenses | 945,000 | |
Net operating loss | $ | (33,000) |
In an effort to isolate the problem, the president has asked for an income statement segmented by geographic market. Accordingly, the Accounting Department has developed the following data: |
Geographic Market | |||||||||
South | Central | North | |||||||
Sales | $ | 400,000 | $ | 600,000 | $ | 500,000 | |||
Variable expenses as a percentage of sales | 52 | % | 30 | % | 40 | % | |||
Traceable fixed expenses | $ | 240,000 | $ | 330,000 | $ | 200,000 | |||
Required: |
1. | Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by geographic market, as desired by the president. (Input all amounts as positive values except losses which should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) |
