Answer i)
We know
CM ratio = Contribution /sales
CM ratio = (selling price - VC per unit)/ selling Price
0.30
= (40-VC)/40
12
= 40-VC
VC
= 40 - 12

1. DISCUSS THE USEFULNESS AND ASSUMPTIONS OF BREAK-EVEN
ANALYSIS ?
Answer :
The break even point is helpful in making decisions in business. It is a
simple tool defining the lowest quantity of sales which will include both
variable and fixed costs. Moreover such analysis facilitates the
managers with a quantity which can be used to evaluate the future
demand. If, in case the break even point lies above the estimated
demand, reflecting a loss on the product, the manager can use this
information for taking various decisions. It is also helpful in
recognizing the relevance of fixed and variable cost. The fixed cost is
less with a more flexible personnel and equipment thereby resulting in
a lower break-even point.
2. The Paradise Shoe Company sells five different styles of ladies choppers with identical
costs and selling prices. The company is trying to find out the profitability of opening another
store which has the following expenses and revenues:
Per pair
Selling Price
Variable cost
Salesman commission
Total Variable cost
taka
30.00
19.50
1.50
21.00
60000.00
2,00,000.00
80,000.00
20,000.00
3,60,000.00
Required :
i) Calculate the annual Break even point in units and in value. Also determine the profit or loss if
35,000 pairs of choppals are sold.
ii) The sales commission are proposed to be discounted, but instead a fixed amount of taka
90,000.00 is to be incurred in fixed salaries. A reduction in selling price of 5% is also proposed.
What will be the Break-even point in units?
iii) It is proposed to pay the store manager 50 paisa (tk 0.50) per pair a further commission.
The selling price is also proposed to be increased by 5%. What would be the Break-even point
in units?
iv) Refer to the original data. If the store manager were to be paid 30
paisa (tk 0.30) commission on each pair of choppal sold in excess of
Break-even point, what would be the store's net profit, if 50,000 pairs
were sold ?
SOLUTION
Requirement (i)
Contribution per unit
Requirement (ii)
Reduction of selling Price 5% = 30 30x5% = 28.50 tk
Sales commission = 0
Total Fixed expense = 360000 + 90000 =
450000.00
Contribution Margin
Requirement (iii)
Selling price 5% increase
= 30 + 30x5 = 31.50 Tk
New variable cost = 21.00 + 0.50 = 21.50
Tk
Contribution Margin
New Break-even Point
Requirement (iv)
Commission to be given to store manager
for 10000 (50,000-40000) units . So total excess commission to be given
is equal to 10000 X 0.30 = 3000.00 Taka.
Profit
= Selling Price - (variable cost + 3000) Fixed expenses
= 50000 X 30 - (50000 X 21 + 3000) 360000.00
= 15,00,000 - 10,53,000-360000
= 87000.00 tk
Or
Profit
= 50000 X 9 - 3000- 360000
= 87000.00
Answer i)
We know
CM ratio = Contribution /sales
CM ratio = (selling price - VC per unit)/ selling Price
0.30
= (40-VC)/40
12
= 40-VC
VC
= 40 - 12
28 Per unit
10
= 24x + 180000.00
11
40x-24x = 180000.00
16x
= 180000.00
x
= 11250.00 units
So, Break even in Units
Break-even point in sales taka = 40 X 11250
= 11250 units
= 450000.00 Tk

13
Answer i)
We know
CM ratio = Contribution /sales
CM ratio = (selling price - VC per unit)/ selling Price
0.30
= (40-VC)/40
12
= 40-VC
VC
= 40 - 12
= 28 Per unit
14
= 180000/{40- (28-4)}
=180000/16
= 11250.00 Units
New CM ratio
=(Selling Price - VC per Unit)/Selling Price
=(40-24)/40
= 0.40
=40%
BEP in Taka
= Fixed Costs/CM Ratio
= 180000.00/0.40
= 4,50,000.00 Taka

Answer i)
We know
CM ratio = Contribution /sales
CM ratio = (selling price - VC per unit)/ selling Price
0.30
= (40-VC)/40
12
= 40-VC
VC
= 40 - 12
= 28 Per unit
Answer (iii) Unit contribution Method
1) BEP in Units and taka
BEP Units
= Fixed costs/Contribution Margin per Unit
= Fixed costs/(Selling Price-VC per Unit)
= (180000 - (40 -28)
= 180000/12
= 15000 Units
BEP in Taka
= Fixed Costs/CM Ratio
=180000/0.30
= 600,000.00 Taka
2) Targeted Sales in Units and Taka
Targeted sales in units
=( Fixed cost + Targeted Profit)/contribution Margin per unit
=(fixed cost + Targeted profit)/Selling Price - VC per Unit)
= (180000.00 + 60000.00)/(40-28)
=240000/12
18
=20000.00 Units
Tageted sales in Taka
= (fixed Cost + Targeted profit)/CM Ratio
=(180000+ 60000)/0.30
= 8,00,000.00 Taka
3) BEP in Units and Taka (if VC charge)
= BEP in units
= Fixed cost/Contribution Margin per unit
= Fixed costs/(Selling price- VC per unit)
= 180000/{40- (28-4)}
=180000/16
= 11250.00 Units
New CM ratio
=(Selling Price - VC per Unit)/Selling Price
=(40-24)/40
= 0.40
=40%
BEP in Taka
= Fixed Costs/CM Ratio
= 180000.00/0.40
= 4,50,000.00 Taka

Answer :
Contribution Margin = Selling Price Variable Cost
112500
= 5000X50 Variable Cost
250000 112500
= Variable Cost
Variable cost
= 137500
Net Profit = Sales Fixed Cost Variable cost
22500 = 250000 Fixed cost 137500
= 250000 137500 Fixed Cost
= 112500 Fixed Cost

Answer i)
We know
CM ratio = Contribution /sales

= (40-VC)/40

12
VC
= 40-VC

3) BEP in Units and Taka (if VC charge)
= BEP in units
= Fixed cost/Contribution Margin per unit
= Fixed costs/(Selling price- VC per unit)
= 180000/{40- (28-4)}

New CM ratio
=(Selling Price - VC per Unit)/Selling Price
