The workings have been done to show the results.

Swifty Inc.

                Women’s Shoes     Men’s Shoes       Children’s Shoes

Sales             675,600               506,700                   (6) $ 484180

Variable costs (2)$ 371580     360,320                    281,500

C. Margin $304,020                $ (3)146380             $202,680

(2) Variable Costs = Sales - Contribution Margin= 675600- 304020=

$ 371580

(3) Contribution Margin= Sales - Variable Costs =  506,700-360,320 = $ 146380

(6) Sales = Contribution Margin + Variable Costs= 281,500 +$202,680 = $ 484,180

Swifty Inc.

                Women’s Shoes     Men’s Shoes       Children’s Shoes

Sales             675,600               506,700                  $ 484180

Variable costs $ 371580           360,320                    281,500

C. Margin        $304,020          $ 146380               $202,680

Controllable

fixed costs       112,600          (4)  $45,040                  (5) $ 95710

Controllable margin (1) $ 191420   101,340                      106,970

(1) Controllable margin=Contribution Margin-Controllable fixed costs

= $ 304,020  -112,600 =$ 191420

(4) Contribution Margin- Controllable margin=Controllable fixed costs

$ 146380  - 101,340  = $45,040

(5)  Contribution Margin- Controllable margin=Controllable fixed costs

$202,680 - 106,970 = $ 95710
