Answer:

$45,800

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions is shown below:

= South Divisions divisional segment margin + West Division's divisional segment margin - Corporation's net operating income

= $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900

= $45,800

We simply added both division segment margin and then the net income is deducted, so that the accurate value can come.
