In preparing the income statement, Bill was unsure what to do with $240,000 in corporate fixed expenses that cannot be traced to a division. Since these costs were incurred to run the business, and he believed that each division benefited equally, he just allocated half to each division.

expenses?
b.Prepare a segment margin income statement that highlights each division's
contribution
to corporate profits. Omit the heading.
