Question No: 44    ( Marks: 10 )
 The following is the Corporation's Income Statement for last month:

Particulars
Rs.
Sales
4,000,000
Less: variable expenses
1,800,000
Contribution margin
2,200,000
Less: fixed expenses
720,000
Net income
1480,000

The company has no beginning or ending inventories. A total of 80,000 units were produced and sold last month.
Required:
v         What is the company's contribution margin ratio?
v          What is the company's break-even in units?
v         How many units would the company have to sell to attain a target profit of Rs. 820,000?

Answer:
Contribution Margin:
       Contribution margin in rupees= Rs 2,200,000
       Sales in rupees                       = Rs 4,000,000
      Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin in rupees/ sales in rupees
                                                    =  2,200,000/4,000,000
                                                    =  0.55

   Break Even in Units: 
       Break even in units = Target Contribution margin/contribution margin per unit
       Target contribution margin = fixed costs = Rs 720,000
       Contribution Margin per unit = Contribution Margin/ units produced
                                                          = 2,200,000/80,000
                                                          =  27.5
     Break even units = 720,000 / 27.5
                                   = 26182

Units need to sell to get profit of 820,000:
        Target Contribution margin = fixed cost + target profit
                                                    = 720,000+ 820,000
                                                    = 1540000
       Sales in units to earn 820,000 profit = target CM/ CM per unit
                                                                = 1540000/27.
                                                                = 56000
