Cost & Management Accounting
Suggested Solution
Answer 1: Hope limited
a) Number of units to be sold to maintain current profit:Current profit: Rs. in “000”
Sales (6,000 × 1,600) 9,600
Variable Cost [6,000 × (240+960)] (7,200)
Contribution 2,400
Fixed cost (850)
Net profit 1,550
Target Profit (units) = Total fixed cost + Current year profit
Contribution/unit
= 850,000+1,550,000 = 6,593 units
∗ 364
*Contribution Per unit:
Sale price per unit 1,600
Variable cost per unit (240×1.15+960) (1,236)
364
b) Selling price per unit to earn a profit of Rs. 2 million:
Sales [9,375(w-1) ×1,548(w-2)] 14,513,500
Variable cost of sales [9375 × (960+240×1.15)] (11,587,500)
Contribution 2,926,000
Fixed cost [850,000+(760,000×10%)] 926,000
Profit 2,000,000
(w-1) 6,000/80×100=7,500 (At 100% capacity)
7,500×1.25=9,375
(w-2) Reverse working to get selling price of 1,548:
14,513,500 ÷ 9,375 = 1,548
Answer# 2: Khan corporation limited
“Rs. In Million”
Breakeven Sales Rs.
= Total fixed Cost
CS Ratio
= 627 (w.1)
38.7 % (w.2)
= 1,616.81
Note: As there is no information of units, therefore use CS ratio to Calculate Breakeven Sales
Product Wise Sales:
A (1,616.81 x 5/10) 808.41
B (1,616.81 x 3/10) 485.94
C (1,616.81 x 2/10) 323.36
Total 1,616.81
Workings:
Sales Mix: [based on product-wise sales]
A (1,500/3,000 x 100) 50% or 5/10
B (900/3,000 x 100) 30% or 3/10
C (600/3,000 x 100) 20 % or 2/10
W.1 Total Fixed Cost
Factory OH (380-30 (40 x 75%) – 90 (100 x 90%) 260
Selling & Distribution {370 (150 + 120 + 100) –183(111 (W.2) + 72 (w.2))} 187
Admin & Other Expenses (all fixed) (90 + 54 + 36) 180
Total 627
W.2) CS Ratio or Contribution Margin Ratio
Sales (1500 + 900 + 600) 3,000
Less: Variable Cost
Material (660 + 360 + 216) (1,236)
Direct Labor (120 + 100 + 80) (300)
Indirect Labor (40 X 70%) (30)
Fuel & Power (100 X 90%) (90)
Commission on Sales (111)
(1500 X 3%) + (900 X 4%) + (600 X 5%)
Distribution Expense (72)
(1500 X 2%) + (900 X 2%) + (600 X 4%)
Contribution Margin 1,161
Contribution Margin Ratio = 1161 / 3,000 X 100 = 38.7%
