Controllable margin     (1) 212,500                 112,500           118,750

Workings

1.  controllable margin = contribution margin - controllable fixed cost

                                     =  337,500 - 125,000 =  212,500

2. contribution margin = sales - varable cost

         337,500 =   750,000 - variable cost

      variable cost =  750,000 - 337,500 = 412,500

3. contibution margin =  562,500 - 400,000 = 162,500

4. controllable fixed cost =  contribution margin - controllable margin

                                          =   162,500 - 112,500  = 50,000

5. controllable fixed cost = 225,000 - 118750 =  106,250

6.  sales = contribution margin + variable cost

              =  312,500 + 225,000 = 537,500

Explanation:

you have to put the parentheses like this:

in fact, you have to perform the operation inside parentheses first, and then proceed in order:
