The CEO of the hospital is not pleased with the division's performance, and he believes that the Diagnostic division is responsible for its dismal result and wants to consider outsourcing diagnostic procedures.

Required:

The controller has determined that the hospital's headquarters allocated $98,000 and $32,000 in common administrative fixed costs, respectively, to Diagnostic and Outpatient divisions. Prepare a segment margin income statement that will provide the CEO with a better basis for evaluating the two divisions' performance. Omit the heading.
