Seema stationers manufacture plastic files for office use. The break up of its cost and sales is as follows :
-Variable Cost Rs. 60 per file
• Fixed Cost Rs. 80,000 per annum
• Production Capacity : 4,000 files per annum
• Selling Price : Rs. 100 per file
Compute the following :
(a) Break even point.
(b) Number of files to be sold to earn a net profit of Rs. 20,000.
(c) If the firm manufactures and sells 500 files more per year with an additional fixed cost of Rs. 4,000, what should be the selling price to earn the same amount of profit as in (b) above ?
ans a) | Breakeven point = (Fixed cost)/(sales price per unit - variable cost per unit) | |||||||
80,000/(100-60) | ||||||||
2000 | ||||||||
Ans = | 2000 | units | ||||||
ans b) | Number of files to be sold= | |||||||
(Fixed cost + required profit)/(sales price per unit - variable cost per unit) | ||||||||
(80000+20000)/(100-60) | ||||||||
2500 | ||||||||
Ans = | 2500 | units | ||||||
ans c) | selling price to earn the same amount of profit | |||||||
Variable cost = | 270000 | |||||||
(4000+500)*60 | ||||||||
fixed cost = | 84000 | |||||||
required profit = | 20000 | |||||||
i | total | 374000 | ||||||
ii | Number of unit = | 4500 | ||||||
iii=i/ii | Price per unit = | $ 83.11 | ||||||
Ans = | $ 83.11 | |||||||
