Answer (D) is correct . Responsibility accounting stresses that managers should only be held responsible for factors under their control. To achieve this objective, the operations of the business are broken down into responsibility centers. Costs are classified as controllable and noncontrollable to assign responsibility. The assignment of responsibility implies that some revenues and costs can be changed through effective management. A responsibility accounting system should have certain controls that provide for feedback reports indicating deviations from expectations. Management may then focus on those deviations for either reinforcement or correction.
Answer (A) is incorrect because Contribution margin reporting separates costs by behavior; variable costs are listed first followed by fixed costs. Some responsibility accounting systems use a contribution margin reporting format, but contribution margin reporting alone can include costs not controllable by a manager.
Answer (B) is incorrect because Segment reporting is preparation of performance reports by reportable segments. Segment reports often include allocated costs that are not controllable by managers.
Answer (C) is incorrect because Absorption cost accounting is characterized by its treatment of fixed manufacturing overhead as a product cost.
