Important: INTRODUCTION TO MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING (Theory) (Minimum 25marks)

The document discusses marginal costing and break-even analysis. It includes theory on concepts like absorption costing, marginal costing, contribution, and break-even point. There are also three practice problems analyzing different scenarios to calculate break-even point, profits or losses at different sales levels, contribution, and sales required to earn a target profit. The problems demonstrate calculating these metrics using information on sales, costs, and contribution or profit figures provided.

Problem 1 (1 year)
Problem 2 (2 years)

2015 2016 ( ____ means no loss or profit)

Sales 76,000 1,30,000


Profit _____ 6000
Loss 4800 _____

● 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

● P/V ratio = Changes in profit x 100


Changes in sales
= (- 4800) +6000 negative 4800 cuz its a loss
1,30,000 - 76,000
= 10800 x 100 = 20%
54000

● 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

● Contribution = Sales x P/V ratio


= 1,30,000 x 20 (You can consider sales of any year)
100
= 26000 substitute in equation 2

Therefore,
FC = 26000 - 6000
= 20,000 substitute in equation 1

BEP = 20,000 = 20,000 = 1,00,000


(20/100) 0.20

● Profit when sales are of Rs 1,20,000

Profit = Contribution - Fixed cost

Note : As the Sales changes contribution also changes


So we need to find the value of contribution again

Contribution = Sales x P/V ratio


= 1,20,000 x 20
100
=24,000
Therefore, Profit = 24,000 - 20,000
= 4000
● Loss when sales go down to the level of Rs 60,000

Loss occurs when there is an increase in Cost. As the cost increase contribution decreases.

Loss = Fixed Cost - Contribution

Here sales changed so we need to find the contribution

Contribution = Sales x P/V ratio


= 60,000 x 20 = 12,000
100
Therefore, Loss= 20,000 -12,000
= 8000
● Sales required to earn a profit of Rs 1,00,000

= Fixed cost +desire profit = 20,000 + 100,000 = 1,50,000


P/V Ratio (20 /100)

● Margin of safety 2016

Margin of safety, MOS = Actual sales - BEP

= 1,30,000 - 1,00,000
= 30,000

Problem 3 Note: here, instead of Profit, Total cost is given

Period sales Total cost


1 1,20,000 108000
2 1,40,000 124000

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

Profit = sales - total cost

For period 1 …….. 1,20,000 - 108000 = 12,000


For period 2 1,40,000 - 124000 = 16,000

● P/V ratio = Changes in profit x 100


Changes in sales

= 16,000 - 12,000 x100 = 4000 x 100


1,40,000 - 1,20,000 20000

= 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

Contribution = Sales x P/V ratio


= 1,20,000 x 20 (You can consider sales of any year)
100
= 24000 substitute in equation 2

Therefore,
FC = 24000 - 12000 (consider profit of previously selected year )
= 12,000 substitute in equation 1

BEP = 12,000 = 12,000 = 60,000


(20/100) 0.20

● 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

Contribution = Sales x P/V ratio (for period 2)

= 1,40,000 x 20 = 28,000
100

Variable cost = Sales - contribution


= 1,40,000 - 28,000
= 112000

● Sales required to earn a profit of 20,000

= Fixed cost +desire profit = 12,000 + 20,000 = 1,60,000
