Compute the departmental direct operating margin and direct
operating margin percentage for each department.
Answer- Departmental direct operating margin- Dept. A = Gross profit- Direct operating expenses
= $243000-$205000
= $38000
Direct operating margin percentage- Dept. A = (Direct operating margin/Sales)*100
= ($38000/$420000)*100
= 9.05%
Departmental direct operating margin- Dept. B = Gross profit- Direct operating expenses
= $197000-$118000
= $79000
Direct operating margin percentage- Dept. A = (Direct operating margin/Sales)*100
= ($79000/$290000)*100
= 27.24%
