OPERATING INCOME FOR SEGMENTS
Venpool, Inc., manufactures and sells cooktops and ovens through three divisions: Home, Restaurant, and Specialty. Each division is evaluated as a profit center. Data for each division for last year are as follows (numbers in thousands):

The income tax rate for Venpool, Inc., is 30 percent. Venpool, Inc., has two sources of financing: bonds paying 6 percent interest, which account for 30 percent of total investment, and equity accounting for the remaining 70 percent of total investment. Venpool, Inc., has been in business for over 15 years and is considered a relatively stable stock, despite its link to the cyclical construction industry. As a result, Venpool stock has an opportunity cost of 5 percent over the 6 percent long-term government bond rate. Venpool's total capital employed is $3.34 million ($2,100,000 for the Home Division, $700,000 for the Restaurant Division, and the remainder for the Specialty Division).
