Business Economics and Financial Analysis
Problem -1
Pepsi Company produces a single article. Following cost data is given about its
product:‐
 Selling price per unit Rs.40
 Marginal cost per unit Rs.24
 Fixed cost per annum Rs. 16000
Calculate:
 P/V ratio
 break even sales
 sales to earn a profit of Rs. 2,000
 Profit at sales of Rs. 60,000
 New break even sales, if price is reduced by 10%.
Solution
We know that (S‐V) /S= F + P OR S x P/V Ratio = Contribution
So,
(A) P/V Ratio = Contribution/sales x 100
= (40‐24)/40 x 100 = 16/40 x 100 OR 40%
(B) Break even sales
S x P/V Ratio = Fixed Cost
(At break even sales, contribution is equal to fixed cost)
Putting this values: S x 40/100 = 16,000
S = 16,000 x 100 / 40 = 40,000 OR 1000 units
Solution
(C) The sales to earn a profit of Rs. 2,000
S x P/V Ratio = F + P
Putting this values: S x 40/100 = 16000 + 2000
S = 18,000 x 100/40
S = Rs. 45,000 OR 1125 units
(D)Profit at sales of 60,000
S x P/V Ratio = F + P
Putting this values: Rs. 60,000 x 40/100 = 16000 + P
24,000 = 16000 + P
24,000 – 16,000 = P
8,000
Solution
(C) The sales to earn a profit of Rs. 2,000
S x P/V Ratio = F + P
Putting this values: S x 40/100 = 16000 + 2000
S = 18,000 x 100/40
S = Rs. 45,000 OR 1125 units
(D)Profit at sales of 60,000
S x P/V Ratio = F + P
Putting this values: Rs. 60,000 x 40/100 = 16000 + P
24,000 = 16000 + P
24,000 – 16,000 = P
8,000
Solution
(E) New break even sales, if sale price is reduced by10%
New sales price = 40‐10% = 40‐4 = 36
Marginal cost = Rs. 24
Contribution = Rs. 12
P/V Ratio = Contribution/Sales
= 12/36 x100 OR 33.33%
Now, s x P/V Ratio = F (at B.E.P. contribution is equal to fixed cost)
S x 100/300 = Rs.16000
S = 16000 x 300/100
S= Rs.48,000.
Problem - 2
From the following information's find out:
a. P/V Ratio
b. Sales &
c. Margin of Safety
 Fixed Cost = Rs.40, 000
 Profit = Rs. 20,000
 B.E.P. = Rs. 80,000
Solution
a. P/V Ratio.
We know that S – V = F + P OR S (S – V)/S = F + P
B.E.S. x P/V Ratio = F (Value of P is zero at BE Sales)
OR P/V Ratio = F/BES
Putting the value,
P/V Ratio = 40,000/80,000 = 50/100 OR 50%
Solution
B. Sales.
We know that Sales x P/V Ratio = F+ P OR Sales x P/V Ratio =
Contribution
OR Sales = Contribution/P/V Ratio
So, = (40,000 + 20,000)/50/100
= (60,000 x 100)/50 = Rs.1, 20,000
C. Margin of Safety.
Margin of Safety = Sales – B.E.P Sales
So, MOS = 1, 20,000 – 80,000
MOS = Rs.40, 000
Problem - 3
From the following particulars, calculate:
(i) Break-even point in terms of sales value and in units.
(ii) Number of units that must be sold to earn a profit of Rs.
90,000
Solution
Problem - 4
From the following data, you are required to calculate
(a) P/V ratio
(b) Break-even sales with the help of P/V ratio.
(c) Sales required to earn a profit of Rs. 4,50,000
Fixed Expenses = Rs. 90,000
Variable Cost per unit:
Direct Material = Rs. 5
Direct Labour = Rs. 2
Direct Overheads = 100% of Direct Labour
Selling Price per unit = Rs. 12.
Solution
Problem - 5
From the following data, you are required to calculate break-even
point and net sales value at this point:
If sales are 10% and 25% above the break even volume, determine
the net profits.
Solution

Margin of safety related problems and pv ratio.pptx

  • 1. Break Even Analysis and Margin of safety related problems & solutions Business Economics and Financial Analysis
  • 2. Problem -1 Pepsi Company produces a single article. Following cost data is given about its product:‐  Selling price per unit Rs.40  Marginal cost per unit Rs.24  Fixed cost per annum Rs. 16000 Calculate:  P/V ratio  break even sales  sales to earn a profit of Rs. 2,000  Profit at sales of Rs. 60,000  New break even sales, if price is reduced by 10%.
  • 3. Solution We know that (S‐V) /S= F + P OR S x P/V Ratio = Contribution So, (A) P/V Ratio = Contribution/sales x 100 = (40‐24)/40 x 100 = 16/40 x 100 OR 40% (B) Break even sales S x P/V Ratio = Fixed Cost (At break even sales, contribution is equal to fixed cost) Putting this values: S x 40/100 = 16,000 S = 16,000 x 100 / 40 = 40,000 OR 1000 units
  • 4. Solution (C) The sales to earn a profit of Rs. 2,000 S x P/V Ratio = F + P Putting this values: S x 40/100 = 16000 + 2000 S = 18,000 x 100/40 S = Rs. 45,000 OR 1125 units (D)Profit at sales of 60,000 S x P/V Ratio = F + P Putting this values: Rs. 60,000 x 40/100 = 16000 + P 24,000 = 16000 + P 24,000 – 16,000 = P 8,000
  • 5. Solution (C) The sales to earn a profit of Rs. 2,000 S x P/V Ratio = F + P Putting this values: S x 40/100 = 16000 + 2000 S = 18,000 x 100/40 S = Rs. 45,000 OR 1125 units (D)Profit at sales of 60,000 S x P/V Ratio = F + P Putting this values: Rs. 60,000 x 40/100 = 16000 + P 24,000 = 16000 + P 24,000 – 16,000 = P 8,000
  • 6. Solution (E) New break even sales, if sale price is reduced by10% New sales price = 40‐10% = 40‐4 = 36 Marginal cost = Rs. 24 Contribution = Rs. 12 P/V Ratio = Contribution/Sales = 12/36 x100 OR 33.33% Now, s x P/V Ratio = F (at B.E.P. contribution is equal to fixed cost) S x 100/300 = Rs.16000 S = 16000 x 300/100 S= Rs.48,000.
  • 7. Problem - 2 From the following information's find out: a. P/V Ratio b. Sales & c. Margin of Safety  Fixed Cost = Rs.40, 000  Profit = Rs. 20,000  B.E.P. = Rs. 80,000
  • 8. Solution a. P/V Ratio. We know that S – V = F + P OR S (S – V)/S = F + P B.E.S. x P/V Ratio = F (Value of P is zero at BE Sales) OR P/V Ratio = F/BES Putting the value, P/V Ratio = 40,000/80,000 = 50/100 OR 50%
  • 9. Solution B. Sales. We know that Sales x P/V Ratio = F+ P OR Sales x P/V Ratio = Contribution OR Sales = Contribution/P/V Ratio So, = (40,000 + 20,000)/50/100 = (60,000 x 100)/50 = Rs.1, 20,000 C. Margin of Safety. Margin of Safety = Sales – B.E.P Sales So, MOS = 1, 20,000 – 80,000 MOS = Rs.40, 000
  • 10. Problem - 3 From the following particulars, calculate: (i) Break-even point in terms of sales value and in units. (ii) Number of units that must be sold to earn a profit of Rs. 90,000
  • 12. Problem - 4 From the following data, you are required to calculate (a) P/V ratio (b) Break-even sales with the help of P/V ratio. (c) Sales required to earn a profit of Rs. 4,50,000 Fixed Expenses = Rs. 90,000 Variable Cost per unit: Direct Material = Rs. 5 Direct Labour = Rs. 2 Direct Overheads = 100% of Direct Labour Selling Price per unit = Rs. 12.
  • 14. Problem - 5 From the following data, you are required to calculate break-even point and net sales value at this point: If sales are 10% and 25% above the break even volume, determine the net profits.
