Question

I am resubmitting this question as I am getting flagged that there is information missing

 

Losses have been incurred at Millard Corporation for some time. In an effort to isolate the problem and improve the company’s performance, management has requested that the monthly income statement be segmented by sales region. The company’s first effort at preparing a segmented statement is given below. This statement is for May, the most recent month of activity.

 

 

Sales Region

  West Central East
Sales $ 311,000     $ 803,000     $ 699,000  
Regional expenses (traceable):                      
Cost of goods sold   95,000       243,000       317,000  
Advertising   103,000       244,000       235,000  
Salaries   52,000       51,000       107,000  
Utilities   8,800       15,600       14,400  
Depreciation   25,000       31,000       27,000  
Shipping expense   12,000       29,000       39,000  
Total regional expenses   295,800       613,600       739,400  
Regional income (loss) before corporate expenses   15,200       189,400       (40,400 )
Corporate expenses:                      
Advertising (general)   16,000       39,000       35,000  
General administrative expense   21,000       21,000       21,000  
Total corporate expenses   37,000       60,000       56,000  
Net operating income (loss) $ (21,800 )   $ 129,400     $ (96,400 )

 

  

Cost of goods sold and shipping expense are both variable; other costs are all fixed. Millard Corporation is a wholesale distributor of office products. It purchases office products from manufacturers and distributes them in the three regions given above. The three regions are about the same size, and each has its own manager and sales staff. The products that the company distributes vary widely in profitability.

 

Required:

3. Prepare a new contribution format segmented income statement for May. Show a Total column as well as data for each region. In addition, for the company as a whole and for each sales region, show each item on the segmented income statement as a percent of sales. (Note: % columns may not total due to rounding.) Round percentage answers to 1 decimal place (i.e .1234 should be entered as 12.3).
