what is the meaning of P/V Ratio?

Answer Posted / ankur

In business it is very tough to tell about the net profit
ratio of a particular activity undertaken by it because it
is easy to tell about the variable cost of that activity
but it is tough to tell about the fixed cost to be charged
on that activity therefore we subtract the variable cost
from the selling price and the amount so received is termed
as contribution which tells us about the amount contributed
from sales after variable cost to coverup the fixed cost.
And it is computed as :-
contribution/sales*100
which tells the per unit contribution towards fixed cost.
