Explanation / Answer

a) Computation of missing amounts

(1) Controllable Margin = Contribution Margin - Controllable Fixed Costs = $250,000 - $100,000 = $150,000

(2) Variable Costs = Sales - Contribution Margin = $600,000 - $250,000 = $350,000

(3) Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable Cost = $450,000 - $320,000 = $130,000

(4) Controllable Fixed Costs = Contribution Margin - Controllable Margin = $130,000 - $90,000 = $40,000

(5) Controllable Fixed Costs = Contribution Margin - Controllable Margin = $180,000 - $95,000 = $85,000

(6) Sales = Contribution Margin + Variable Costs = $180,000 + $250,000 = $430,000
