Concept Of Contribution
Contribution is the difference between
sales
And the marginal (Variable) cost
Contribution =sales-variable cost
C= S-V
Contribution = Fixed Cost+ Profit
C= F+P
Therefore
S-V = F+P
Contribution is the difference between
sales
And the marginal (Variable) cost

S-V=F+P

If any 3 factors in the equation are known


The 4th could be found out

P=S-V-F
P=C-F
F=C-P
S=F+P+V
V=S-C……….
PROFIT ? SALES?
C=S-V
Sales =Rs 12,000
=12,000-7000=5000 S=C+V

V Cost=RS 7,000 P=C-F


=5,000+7,000
F Cost=Rs 4,000 =5,000-4000 =Rs 12,000

=Rs 1,000
F COST? V Cost?

Sales =Rs 12,000 F=C-P V=S-C


V Cost=RS 7,000
=5,000-1,000 =12,000-5000
F Cost=Rs 4,000 =Rs 7,000
=Rs 4,000
Profit –Volume Ratio (PV Ratio)
(Expresses the relation of Contribution to sales)

Sales= Rs 10,000

V Cost=Rs 8,000
P/V Ratio =Contribution = C/S =S-V/S
Sales

C = S XP/V Ratio
P/V Ratio=c/s
C
=S-V/S
S = --------
=10,000-8000/10,000
P/V Ratio
=20%
Profit –Volume Ratio (PV Ratio)

When PV
Ratio is
Given

C= SXPV Ratio

C= 10000X20%
=Rs 20,000

What Could be the Uses of PV Ratio?

Break Even Point

Profit at Given Sales

Vol required to earn given Profit


How Improvement in PV Ratio Could be Achieved?

Increasing Selling Price

Reducing Variable Cost

Changing Sales Mix

What are BEP---assumptions

All costs are fixed or variable


VC remains Constant
Total FC remains Constant
Selling Price don’t change With Volume
Synchronisation of Prod & Sales
 No Change in Productivity per workers

Break-Even Analysis
• A higher price or lower price does not
mean that break even will never be
reached!

• The BE point depends on the sales


needed to generate revenue to cover
costs

USES OF BEA

 Helps to determine the BEP


 Helps to determine the sales volume and
selling price
 Helps to determine the effect of selling
price on profit
 Profitability of various firms can be
compared
 Helps management in decision making
LIMITATION OF BEA
 Inaccuracy

 Fixed cost remains constant is unrealistic


sometimes

 Selling prices remains unchanged as


volume changes is also not true
