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; i believe the correct answer is (form utility); good luck

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
