The remaining sales and variable expenses were recorded in the Eastern Territories. Fixed expenses of $160,000 and $130,000 are traceable to the Central and Eastern Territories, respectively. The rest of the fixed expenses are common to the two territories.

Variable expenses are 25% of the selling price for Haws and 61% for Paws. Cost records show that $60,000 of the Central Territory's fixed expense is traceable to Haws and $54,000 to Paws, with the remainder common to the two products.
