    I have noticed in the Kaplan kit that to calculate RI, sometimes a controllable profit figure is taken, and other times the operating profit.

    My questions are:

    a) When should we use the controllable profit figure instead of just the operating profit figure?

    b) I understand that interest charges should be added back to the controllable profit, but why were IT costs and Central administration costs are added?

    Thank you

    I figured out the answer to question b, those costs are incurred from the head office thats why they are added back as the division can’t control them.
