Holliday, Inc., operates a retail store with two departments, A and B. Its departmental income statement for the current year follows:
Holliday allocates building depreciation, maintenance, and utilities on the basis of square footage. Office expenses are allocated on the basis of sales.

The company owns its building. Opening Department C would redistribute the square footage to each department as follows: A, 19,040; B, 21,760 sq. ft.; C, 13,600. Increases in indirect expenses would include: maintenance, $500; utilities, $3,800; and office expenses, $1,200.
Complete the following departmental income statements, showing projected results of operations for the three sales departments. (Round amounts to the nearest whole dollar.)
