(D) When sales dropped to Rs. 50,00,000, it appears that production has also been reduced to 2/3. Therefore
Contribution/ Sales = 33 L / 75L X 100 = 44% or 0.44 hence VC = 42L / 75L X 100 = 56% = O.56. Hence
when sales is 50L, Contribution = 50l X 44 X 100= 22L & VC = 50L X 56 /100 = Rs 28L. So (New) EBIT
= (New) Contribution – FC = 22L – 6L = 16L & Debt’s interest will remain same. Hence
Sales 50,00,000
VC 28,00,000
Contribution 22,00,000
FC 6,00,000
Profit (before Interest & Taxation) (EBIT) 16,00,000
Less Interest & Tax (I,T) 4,05,000
Profit (After Tax) (PAT) 11,95,000
(E) as per given data
VC / Sales = 42L / 75L X 100 = 56% = O.56
We have EBT= EBIT – I or Interest +0 = EBIT = Interest payable
Therefore Sales – (VC + FC) = EBIT
Therefore Sales = X – (0.56X + 6,00,000) = 4,05,000
Or 0.44X =6,00,000 + 4,05,000 = 10,05,000
Or 0.44X = 10,05,000= 22,84,091
0.44X
Thus at Sales of Rs. 22,84,091 the EBT = 0. Verification=
EBT = 0
Interest = 405000
EBIT = 405000
FC = 600000
Contribution =10,05,000
VC = 12,79,091

Liquid Ratio = Current Assets – Stock = 1.5 = Rs. 1,00,000 – Value of Stock
Current Liabilities Rs. 40,000

Rs. 40,000

Hence total Current Assets Rs. 1,00,000

Fixed Assets = Proprietorship Ratio = Fixed Assets = Fixed Assets
Reserve & Surplus + (Proprietor’s Capital =x) [ 40,000 + x]
= 0.75 or 0.75 [ 40,000 + x] = [ 30,000 + 0.75x] = Fixed Assets
As we know (Fixed Assets + Current Assets) = Current Liabilities + Reserve + Capital
Or (Fixed Assets + Current Assets + Current Liabilities) = Reserve + Capital
Or = Fixed Assets + (Current Assets – 100,000) – (Current Liabilities) – (Reserve) = Capital
Or = (Fixed Assets + 100000) – (40000) = (40000) + Capital
Or = (Fixed Assets + 100000) – (40000) - (40000) = Capital
Or = (Fixed Assets + 100000) – (40000) - (40000) = Capital
Or = (Fixed Assets + 20000) = Capital
Or = Proprietor’s Fund + Current Liabilities = (Fixed Assets + Current Assets)
Or = Fixed Assets = 0.75 or Fixed Assets = 0.75 [ Net Worth] = 0.75 Net Worth
Proprietor’s Fund (or Net Worth)
Or Net Worth + Rs. 40,000 = 0.75 Net Worth + Rs. 1,00,000
Or Net Worth x 0.75 Net Worth = Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 40,000
Or 0.25 Net Worth = Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 40,000
Or 0.25 Net Worth = Rs. 60,000
Or Net Worth = Rs. 60,000 / 0.25 = Rs. 2,40,000
So Capital = Net Worth - Rs. 40,000 or Rs. 2,40,000 - Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 2,00,000
CLA RIFICATION:- Since Fixed Assets = 0.75 [ Net Worth],
Hence Fixed Assets = Rs. 2,40,000 x 0.75 = Rs. 1,80,000
By substituting above Calculated Value in Assets & Liabilities side of Balance Sheet, we get

Thus under Marginal Costing, Profit for the Products A, B & C is 9,500: 7,000: 4,000 respectively whereas
under Absorption Costing Profit for these Products is 8,600: 11,500: 3,600 respectively. However, Net
Profits from operations under both he system are same being there is no opening or closing stock. From
these figure per unit cost of manufacture = VC + FC = 14 +2 =16. Since Selling Price is 115% of cost of
manufacture therefore Total Sales will be Rs. 16 X 115% = Rs. 18.40 = Rs. 27,60,000 and other costs were
worked out accordingly.

This year sakes were 3,50,000 units. The company desired to earn a net income of Rs. 6,00,000 before taxes.
The firm is evaluating a marketing program designed to achieve the firm’s desired Net Income. The program
would increase fixed cost by Rs. 1,45,000 & variable cost by Rs.0.25 per unit.
Profit / Volume Ratio (or P / V Ratio) = CONTRIBUTION per unit or Total Contribution
Selling Price Per Unit Total Sales
In case P / V Ratio is to be expressed as % of Sales the figure can be derived from the formulae as
given above should be multiplied by 100. thus
BEP (of output) = Fixed Cost X Selling Price per Unit = Rs. 9,00,000 x Rs. 3 = Rs. 30,00,000
CONTRIBUTION per unit Rs. 3
or = Fixed Cost x Total Sales Rs. 9,00,000 x Rs. 35,00,000 = Rs. 30,00,000
Total Contribution Rs. 10,50,000
or Fixed Cost = Rs. 9,00,000= Rs. 9,00,000 = Rs. 30,00,000 (Here P / V Ratio = Contribution / Sales = 3/10)
1 – Variable cost per Unit =1 – 7 (or 0.3)
Selling Price per Unit 10
At BEP, the desired profit is zero, in case of volume of output of sales is to be computed for a desired
profit, the amount of desired profit should be added to the fixed cost in the formula given above, hence
Unit sales for desired profit = Fixed Cost + desired profit = Rs. 16,45,000 = 2,13,637 Units
Contribution per unit Rs. 7.7
or Fixed Cost + desired profit = or Fixed Cost + desired profit =Rs. 16,45,000 = Rs. 25,52,960
