    The question as you have typed it is impossible – the contribution can not be more than the sales!!!!

    Assuming that you have put the ‘,’ in the right place and that therefore it is 20% of the fixed costs that are controllable, then the controllable profit is the contribution less 16,000 (20% of 80000)
