Controllable costs are those costs that managers have control over and can influence through their decisions and actions. Therefore, the level of controllable costs can provide evidence about a manager's performance. On the other hand, uncontrollable costs are those costs that managers have no control over, such as market conditions or external factors, and do not provide evidence about a manager's performance. The other answer choices (A, C, and D) do not accurately describe costs that can provide evidence about a manager's performance.
