Respuesta :

Answer:

$122,500

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions

First step is to calculate Total segment margin

Total segment margin = $43,600 + $174,300

Total segment margin= $217,900

Now let calculate the Common fixed expense

Common fixed expense = $217,900-$95,400

Common fixed expense $122,500

Therefore the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions is $122,500
