Maurice Corporation has two major business segments; Philippe and Chip. In April, the Philippe business segment had sales revenues of $500,000, variable expenses of $280,000, and traceable fixed expenses of $80,000. During the same month, the Chip business segment had sales revenues of $970,000, variable expenses of $514,000, and traceable fixed expenses of $184,000. The common fixed expenses totaled $280,000 and were allocated as follows: $112,000 to the Philippe business segment and $168,000 to the Chip business segment. A properly constructed segmented income statement in a contribution format would show that the segment margin of the Philippe business segment is:a.) $108,000

b.) $140,000

c.) 280,000

d.) $28,000

    b.) $140,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the segment margin is shown below:

    Sales Revenue $500,000

    Less: Variable Expenses ($280,000)

    Contribution Margin $220,000

    Less: Traceable fixed Expenses ($80,000)

    Segment margin $140,000

    By deducting the variable expense from the sales we can get the contribution margin and after that the fixed cost is deducted from the contribution margin so that the segment margin could come
