Hello Sir, can you please explain how they get $96,000 in this question
Division A reported sales of $400,000 and a contribution of $160,000 for the most recent period. Revenue and variable costs are controllable by the division’s manager. Fixed costs for the period were $80,000, of which 20% were controllable by the division’s manager.
What amount of profit was controllable by the division’s manager for the most recent period? (Answer in $)
Controllable profit = $160,000 ? ($80,000 ? $16,000) = $96000
My calculation on this is $160,000-($80,000*20%)=$144,000
