0

B) Sales - Total expenses (variable + fixed)
C) Contribution margin - Traceable fixed costs

Correct Answer: C) Contribution margin - Traceable fixed costs

• In variable costing, the segment margin is precisely calculated as Contribution margin - Traceable fixed costs. • The basic Contribution Margin is mathematically defined as total Sales minus Variable costs. • Traceable fixed costs are highly specific to one segment and would disappear if the Segment is eliminated. • Common fixed costs exist to support the overall corporation and are completely ignored when calculating Segment margin.
