What were Sraibn271 Corporation's common fixed expenses?
a) $131,450
b) $43,650
c) $51,000
d) $94,650

Answer 1

Answer: b) $43,650

Explanation:

Contribution margin of Domestic division + contribution margin of Foreign division - traceable fixed cost - common fixed cost = Net operating income for company

46,400 + (0.35 * 243,000) - 51,000 - Common = 36,800

80,450 - Common = 36,800

Common = 80,450 - 36,800

= $43,650
