Example 1
A company makes two products with the following characteristics:
Product X Product Y
Contribution to sales ratio 0.3 X 0.5 Y
Selling price per unit $3.00 X $4.80 Y
Maximum demand 8,000 units X 3,000 units Y
Fixed costs are $9,000.
What is the minimum revenue required for production to break even?answer: 20400
hello john can you pls explain why this question is different, i am getting 24000 as it asks breakeven in revenue right??
August 24, 2022 at 6:47 am #664111Different from what?
To break even as quickly as possible they will make the product giving the highest CS ratio first. I am guessing that you are using the average CS ratio but that assumes they manufacture both in the same ratio which is not what is stated here.
August 24, 2022 at 4:06 pm #664155now that you have said, the one who has the highest c/s will make the units first, i dont know why i am messing even tho i know how to do it, the problem is i don’t understand the topic, this highest ranking we do in limiting factor and throughput, now this is CVP. i just get confused so much.
August 25, 2022 at 9:17 am #664225Have you watched my free lectures on CVP analysis because I do explain both things.
The lectures are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
