    d) $400,000

    Explanation:

    The traceable fixed costs of the mobile phone division is:

    = The company's total traceable fixed costs - total traceable fixed costs of television division

    = $500,000 - $300,000 = $200,000

    Segment margin of the mobile phone division is:

    = contribution margin of the mobile phone division - traceable fixed costs of the mobile phone division

    = $600,000 - $200,000 = $400,000
