The Alpha Division has sales of $635,000, variable expenses of $345,800, and traceable fixed expenses of $135,900. The total amount of common fixed expenses not traceable to the individual divisions is $138,200. What is the company's net operating income?

Answer 1

Net operating income= $107,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beta Division:

Sales= $325,000

Variable expense= $159,600

Traceable fixed expense= $72,800

Alpha Division:

Sales= $635,000

Variable expense= $345,800

Traceable fixed expense= $135,900

We need to calculate the net operating income:

Beta division partial income= 325,000 - 159,600 - 72,800= 92,600

Alpha division partial income= 635,000 - 345,800 - 135,900= 153,300

Common fixed expense= (138,200)

Net operating income= $107,700
