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
