Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.

Answer:
There are three stages of assignment of costs to each product and these are as under:
- Allocation
- Apportionment
- Absorption / Activity Based costing
So this question relates to stage one. Suppose the following situation:
There are 2 departments and they have following expenses
Department A has a supervisor whose annual salary is $30000
Department B has a worker whose annual salary is $22000
Department A & B have shared a rented property for there operations.
Department A and B also shares electricity bills and annual electricity charges stand almost $80,000
Now the directly attributable / traceable cost to Department A are those that are hundred percent related to Department A. In this example, we saw that supervisor salary is the only cost that is hundred percent related to Department A. Likewise Worker's salary is also relateable to Department B. Whereas the rental cost and electricity bills are not directly attributable to these departments. So this means the manufacturing costs that are directly traceable are those that hundred percent relates to the manufacturing departments.
