Sir i didnt understand how to calcuated c/s ratio
November 13, 2017 at 5:32 am #415474Betis limited is considering changing the way it structure by asking its employed staff to become freeelance. Employess are currently paid fixed salary of $ 24000000 per annum but would instead be paid $ 200 per working day. On a typical working day staff can produce 40 unit. Other fixed cost are $ 400000pa
The selling price of a unit is $ 60 and material cost are $ 20 per unitWhat will be the effect of the change on the break even point of the business and the level of operating risk?
November 13, 2017 at 5:36 am #415476Breakeven point reduce and operating risk goes down and i didnt get the point in current breakeven point they have mentioned fixed cost of $ 240000+ $ 400000 why and new breakeven point ignore the 240000 why sir?
November 13, 2017 at 6:39 am #415478Edward sell two product with selling price and contribution as follow
Product f product g
Selling price 40 20
Contribution 10 4
Budgeted sale 150000 100000
UnitEdward fixed cost are 14000000 per year
Edward now anticipates that more Customer will buy the cheaper product g and that budgeted sales will be 150000 unit for each product.If this happen what would happen to the breakeven revenue??
C/s ratio of product g is lower i think mix will reduce i got this point but breakeven revenue will increase by an amount but not by the amount of extra sales of product g this is not relevant why sir
November 13, 2017 at 10:06 am #415509You must open a new thread for a new question – not list a whole series of questions in one thread!!
EC Ltd: If the variable cost is 70% of sales revenue, then the contribution must be 30% of the sales revenue. Therefore the CS ratio is 30%.
Betis: If the staff become freelance they are paid 200 a day and this is a variable cost. They will no longer be paid a fixed salary of $2,400,000 and so this will not longer exist.
Edward: The current overall CS ratio is 1.9M / 8M = 0.2375
Therefore the current breakeven revenue = 1.4M / 0.2375 = 5,894,737
The new overall CS ratio is 4.2M / 18M = 0.2333
Therefore the new breakeven revenue = 1/4M / 0.2333 = 6,000,857Have you watched my free lectures on CVP analysis? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
Also, you should be practicing questions using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – they include answers with workings!!
