Isaiah · Answer 1

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Total Segment Margin = Net Operating Income + common fixed expenses

= $ 25,000 + $ 37,000

= $ 62,000

Total Segment Margin = Segment Margin of Q + Segment Margin of P

$ 62,000 = $ 21,000 + Segment Margin of P

or Segment Margin of P = $ 62,000 - $ 21,000

= $ 41,000
