Answer 1

$40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the controllable margin is shown below:

= Contribution margin - Controllable fixed costs

= $120,000 - $80,000

= $40,000

If we deduct the controllable fixed costs from the contribution margin then the controllable margin can be computed which shows an accurate amount.
