    c.$36,750

    Explanation:

    If Bulls Division were dropped, then the total segment margin would be $147,000 and the total common cost would be $110,250, Then:

    Operating income = Segment margin - Total cost

    = $147,000 - $110,250

    = $36,750

    Therefore, The Operating income for Knickers Corporation as a whole if the Bulls division were dropped would be $36,750.
