From the following find out a. Profit Volume ratio b. Break even point c. Sales for 40% P/V Ratio..

Answer / Manmeet Singh

a. Profit Volume Ratio = (Profit / Sales) * 100 = (50000 / 200000) * 100 = 25%nb. Break even point = (Fixed Overheads + Variable Overheads) / Profit Percentage = ((15000 + 150000) / 25) = 720000nc. Sales for 40% P/V Ratio = (Break even point * 40%) = 720000 * 40% = 2880000nd. Margin of Safety = Actual Sales - Break Even Point = 2000000 - 720000 = 1280000ne. Net Profit from the sales of Rs 3,00,000 is already provided as 35,000nf. Required sales for the new profit of Rs 70,000 = (New Profit / (Profit Percentage - Target Profit Percentage)) = (70000 / (25% - 40%)) = 6666667ng. Required sales for the net profit of Rs 70,,000 after tax, the corporate income tax being 40%, is already calculated as 6666667nh. Additional sales required to convert an increase of Rs 3000 p.a. in the sales manager salary = (Total Salaries + Total Variable Overheads) / Sales * Annual Increase = (200 + 150000 + 150000) / 2000000 * 3000 = 9000
