Answer #1
Sales Volume (in Units) Sale Value (in Rs.) Profit/ Loss (in Rs.) (Loss is shown as minus)
20000 20000 Units * Rs. 15 = 3,00,000 20000 units * Rs. 4= 80,000
8000 8000 Units *Rs. 15= 1,20,000 8000 units *Rs. 5= -40,000
Change in Value Rs. 1,80,000        (3,00,000-1,20,000) Rs. 1,20,000                  [80,000-(-40000)]
PV Ratio = (Change in Profit / Change in Sales) * 100
(1,20,000/1,80,000) *100 = 66.6666%
According to question
When 8000 units are sold
PV Ratio = (Fixed Cost + Profit) / Sales *100
66.6666 = Fixed Cost + (-40,000)/ 120,000 *100 ( At 8000 units of sale the loss is Rs. 40,000 and Sale value is Rs. 1,20,000)
Fixed Cost -40,000 = (1,20,000*66.6666)/100
Fixed Cost - 40,000 = 80,000
Fixed Cost = 80,000 + 40,000
Fixed Cost = 1,20,000
Breakeven point (in Rupees)
PV Ratio = (Fixed Cost / Breakeven sales) *100
66.6666= (1,20,000 / Breakeven sales) * 100
Breakeven sales = Rs. 1,80,000
Breakeven point (in units)
Rs. 1,80,000 / Rs. 15 = 12,000 units
Alternatively the problem can also be solved using 20000 units as under
When 20000 units are sold
PV Ratio = (Fixed Cost + Profit) / Sales *100
66.6666 = Fixed Cost + 80,000/ 3,00,000 *100 ( At 20000 units of sale the profit is Rs. 80,000 and Sale value is Rs. 3,00,000)
Fixed Cost+80,000= (3,00,000*66.6666)/100
Fixed Cost + 80,000 = 2,00,000
Fixed Cost = 2,00,000 - 80,000
Fixed Cost = 1,20,000
Breakeven point (in Rupees)
PV Ratio = (Fixed Cost / Breakeven sales) *100
66.6666= (1,20,000 / Breakeven sales) * 100
Breakeven sales = Rs. 1,80,000
Breakeven point (in units)
Rs. 1,80,000 / Rs. 15 = 12,000 units
I believe that is have provided a detailed solution for the above problem
