What is the Difference for the controllable margin indicated on the responsibility report for Jazz Division for the year? a. $40,000 Fb. $10,000 Fc. $30,000 Fd. $20,000 F

c. $30,000 F

Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of Difference for the controllable margin is provided below:-

To reach at Difference for the controllable margin first we will find the controllable margin of budgeted and controllable margin of actual which are as follows:-

Controllable margin of budgeted = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

= $460,000 - $250,000 - $80,000

= $130,000

and

Controllable margin of Actual = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

= $500,000 - $280,000 - $60,000

= $160,000

finally

Difference  for the controllable margin = Controllable margin of budgeted - Controllable margin of Actual

= $130,000 - $160,000

= -$30,000 Favorable

Here the actual is higher that budgeted so it will be favorable.

answer/// product differentiation;

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
