Here is the question restated: Bart's Inc. operates retail stores in various cities. Segmented income statements are prepared for each store and for each product line in each store. The property tax for the store is a ______ each product line sold in the store.

Option 1: common fixed cost to both the store and
- This phrasing identifies the property tax as a fixed cost that is common to both the overall store and each product line. Property tax is not easily traced to a specific product line; it supports the entire store operation and thus is typically treated as a common fixed cost allocated to product lines, rather than being traceable to a particular line. This aligns with how common fixed costs behave in segmented statements.

Option 2: common fixed cost to the store and traceable fixed cost to
- Labeling the tax as both common and traceable to product lines is inconsistent. A fixed cost that is traceable to a product line would be one that can be directly attributed to that line (e.g., a dedicated facility or equipment). Property tax of the store as a whole does not neatly trace to individual product lines, so calling it traceable to lines is inaccurate.

Option 3: traceable fixed cost to both the store and
- Describing the tax as traceable to both the store and product lines implies that the cost can be directly linked to each line and to the store as a whole. In practice, property tax on the store is not easily assignable to specific product lines; it serves the entire store and is not a cost that varies with a particular line, so this option is not appropriate.

Option 4: traceable fixed cost to the store and common fixed cost to
- This mixes classifications, suggesting part of the tax is traceable to the store and part is common to product lines. A single fixed cost like property tax is typically categorized consistently as either traceable or common to product lines, not split in this way, making this option inconsistent.

In summary, the most coherent interpretation is that the store property tax functions as a common fixed cost allocated to each product line within the store, rather than being traceable to a specific line. The other choices introduce contradictions about traceability and allocate the cost in ways that do not reflect how store-wide property taxes behave in segmented reporting.

Bart's Inc. operates retail stores in various cities. Segmented income statements are prepared for each store and for each product line in each store. The property tax for the store is a Blank ______ each product line sold in the store.
