    Responsibility report for the Plastics Division beginning with contribution margin for the year ending December 31, 2020.

    Report to product manager budget over (under)

    Contribution margin $669,000 $16,225

    Dirrect fixed cost - $298,200 - $5,000

    Product margin $370,800 $11,225

    Explanation:

    In preparing reponsibility report, the difference between actual and budgeted is reported as over or under depending on if the item is an income or expense item. If the item is an income item, example, contribution margin, the difference between budget and actual is over when actual value is higher than budgeted.
