What is the contribution controllable by the division manager in Division C

Respuesta :

Answer:

Controllable contribution = $35,000

Explanation:

The controllable contribution of the divisional manager is  the difference between the sales revenue and the costs controllable by the manager. It is a metric to measure the performance of a divisional manager

sales revenue = $350,000

Variable expenses = 40%× 350,000

Controllable costs = (40%×350,000)+ 175,000= 315,000

Controllable contribution= $350,000 - 315,000 = 35,000

Controllable contribution = $35,000
