Wingate Company, a wholesale distributor of videotapes, has been experiencing losses for some time, as shown by its most recent monthly contribution format income statement, which follows: Sales $1,000,000
Variable expenses 390,000

Variable expenses as a percentage of sales 52% 30% 40%
Traceable fixed expenses $160,000 $200,000 $175,000

Required:
a. Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by divisions, as desired by the president.
b. As a result of a marketing study, the president believes that sales in the West Division could be increased by 20% if monthly advertising in that division were increased by $15,000. Would you recommend the increased advertising?
