a)$80,000

b)$60,000

c)20%

d)50%

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $1,000,000

Contribution margin = 200,000

Total direct fixed costs = 120,000

Average total operating assets = 400,000

Controllable margin for the year:

= Contribution margin - Controllable fixed cost

= $200,000  - $120,000

= $80,000

Therefore, the controllable margin for the year is $80,000.
