Customer service	$100,000	Service calls	13,400	1,480	19,179

In addition, Model 1 requires the rental of specialized equipment costing $22,000 per year.

Required:

1. Reformulate the segmented income statement using the additional information on activities. Use a minus sign to indicate any negative margins. Do NOT round interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest dollar. If amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank or enter "0".
