Answer:

$34,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information, the computation of segment margin for product P is shown below;

Net operating profit = (Segment margin Q + Segment margin P) - Common fixed expenses

$26,000 = ($48,000 + Segment margin P) - $56,000

$26,000 = $48,000 + Segment margin P - $56,000

$26,000 = Segment margin P - $8,000

Segment margin P = $26,000 + $8,000

Segment margin P = $34,000
