Operating profit before allocation $ 13,500,000 $ 24,750,000
Corporate overhead costs are expected to be $12.4 million in the current year. Of the $12.4 million, $8.5 million is fixed, and the remainder is variable, with respect to revenue. Division managers are evaluated and compensated in part on division operating profit relative to the budget.
