Proportionate Percentage of sales of each region
A Region = [$462,000 / (462,000 + 858,000)] x 100 = 35%
B Region = [$858,000 / (462,000 + 858,000)] x 100 = 65%
Allocation of Service department expenses
A Region = $129,360 [($221,800 + 147,800) x 35%]
B Region = $240240 [($221,800 + 147,800) x 65%]
Divisional Income
A Region = $46,140 [$462,000 – 175,600 – 110,900 – 129,360]
B Region = $85,860 [$858,000 – 326,000 – 205,900 – 240,240]
