9. Applications of Marginal costing
Problem 1 (1 year)
Problem 2 (2 years)
● Calculate BEP
● Profit when sales are of Rs 1,20,000
● Loss when sales go down to the level of Rs 60,000
● Sales required to earn a profit of Rs 1,00,000
● Margin of safety 2016
Answer
● BEP = Fixed Cost (don’t know the value of Fixed Cost) …………...equation 1
P/V ratio
● Fixed Cost (FC) = Contribution - Profit (don’t know the value of Contribution) ……...equation 2
Therefore,
FC = 26000 - 6000
= 20,000 substitute in equation 1
Loss occurs when there is an increase in Cost. As the cost increase contribution decreases.
= 1,30,000 - 1,00,000
= 30,000
Find
● BEP
● Variable cost
● Sales required to earn a profit of 20,000
Since total cost is given instead of profit, we need to find profits of both period
= 20%
BEP = Fixed Cost (don’t know the value of Fixed Cost) …………...equation 1
P/V ratio
Fixed Cost (FC) = Contribution - Profit (don’t know the value of Contribution) ……...equation 2
Therefore,
FC = 24000 - 12000 (consider profit of previously selected year )
= 12,000 substitute in equation 1
● Variable cost
For Period 1
Variable cost = Sales - contribution (Since contribution of period 1 is already calculated
So substitute that value directly )
= 1,20,000 - 24,000
= 96,000
For Period 2
Variable cost = Sales - contribution
= 1,40,000 x 20 = 28,000
