KR Corporation's break-even point in sales is Rs. 900,000, and its variable expenses are 75% of sales. If the company lost Rs. 32,000 last year, sales must have amounted to
Contribution margin ratio = 1 - variable expense ratio
= 1 - 0.75
= 0.25
Break-even-point in sales = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio
Rs. 900,000 = Fixed expenses / 0.25
Fixed expenses = $225,000
Profit = (Sales x Contribution margin ratio ) - Fixed expenses
- $32,000 = (Sales x 0.25) - $225,000
(Sales x 0.25) = -$32,000 + $225,000
Sales = $772,000
Contribution margin ratio = 1 - variable expense ratio
Break-even-point in sales = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio
