A company has two different products that are sold in different markets. Financial data are as follows:
Total Revenue: $15,000
Variable cost: ($9,000)
Fixed cost allocated: ($2,000)
Operating income (loss): $4,000
Total Revenue: $9,400
Variable cost: ($9,700)
Fixed cost allocated: ($2,200)
Operating income (loss): ($2,500)
Total Revenue: $24,400
Variable cost: ($18,700)
Fixed cost allocated: ($4,200)
Operating income (loss): $1,500
