Taft Corporation operates primarily in the United States. However, a few years ago, it opened a plant in Spain to produce merchandise to sell there. This foreign operation has been so successful that during the past 24 months the company started a manufacturing plant in Italy and another in Greece. Financial information for each of these facilities follows:

Spain Italy Greece
Sales $ 235,000 $ 660,000 $ 510,000
Intersegment transfers 0 101,200 120,000
Operating expenses 232,000 266,000 250,000
Interest expense 40,000 53,000 43,000
Income taxes 91,000 43,000 58,000
Long-lived assets 151,000 210,000 160,000

The companys domestic (U.S.) operations reported the following information for the current year:

Sales to unaffiliated customers $ 4,740,000
Intersegment transfers 547,000
Operating expenses 2,530,000
Interest expense 196,000
Income taxes 939,000
Long-lived assets 2,320,000
