The company’s first effort at preparing a segmented statement is given below. This statement is for May, the most recent month of activity.



Cost of goods sold and shipping expense are both variable; other costs are all fixed.
Millard Corporation is a wholesale distributor of office products. It purchases office products from manufacturers and distributes them in the three regions given above. The three regions are about the same size, and each has its own manager and sales staff. The products that the company distributes vary widely in profitability.

2. Explain the basis that is apparently being used to allocate the corporate expenses to the regions. Do you agree with these allocations? Explain.
