PBIT

JJANELLE4y ago
Which profit should be used to calculate PBIT? Operating profit or controllable profit..? can I get the reason for choosing the profit to cal PBIT?

It depends for what reason you are being asked to calculate it!!! If it for appraising the performance of a divisional manager then we take the controllable profit because the manager cannot be made responsible for factors that he/she does not control. Have you watched my free lectures on divisional performance measurement?
