Piedmont Novelties, Inc., sells merchandise through three retail outletsin Raleigh, Charlotte, and Savannahand operates a general corporate headquarters in Charlotte. A review of the companys income statement indicates a record year in terms of sales and profits. Management, though, desires additional insights about the individual stores and has asked that Judson Wyatt, a newly hired intern, prepare a segmented income statement. The following information has been extracted from Piedmonts accounting records:

Sales volume, sales price, and purchase price data:

	Raleigh			Charlotte			Savannah
Sales volume		37,800	units		41,800	units		46,320	units
Unit selling price	$	26.00		$	24.50		$	22.25
Unit purchase price		12.25			12.25			15.00

The following expenses were incurred for sales commissions, local advertising, property taxes, management salaries, and other noncontrollable (but traceable) costs:

	Raleigh			Charlotte			Savannah
Sales commissions		8	%		8	%		8	%
Local advertising	$	17,300		$	37,000		$	96,000
Local property taxes		7,150			3,400			11,400
Sales manager salary								60,000
Store manager salaries		50,500			66,500			73,000
Other noncontrollable costs		9,500			7,300			34,700
