ignore that I selected an answer, I dont know if it's correct!
Pioneer Corporation currently has two divisions which had the following operating results for last year: Sales Variable costs Contribution margin Traceable fixed costs Segment margin Allocated common corporate fixed costs Net operating income (loss) Alex Paige Division Division $600,000 $350,000 250,000 220,000 350,000 130,000 160,000 110,000 190,000 20,000 80,000 45,000 $110,000 $(25,000) Because the Paige Division sustained a loss, the president of Pioneer is considering the elimination of this division. All of the division's traceable fixed costs could be avoided if the division was dropped. None of the allocated common corporate fixed costs could be avoided. If the Paige Division was dropped at the beginning of last year, the financial advantage (disadvantage) to the company for the year would have been: Multiple Choice $25,000 O $20,000 ($25,000) O ($20,000) $65,000
