Calculation of Variable and Fixed Cost

Particulars	Amount
Total Revenue(200010001.6)	3200000
Total Cost(3200000*84.375%)	2700000
Total Fixed Cost(2700000*0.35/1.35)	700000
Total Variable Cost(2700000-700000)	2000000
Total Material Cost(2000000*40%)	800000
Total Labour Cost(2000000*50%)	1000000
Other Variable Cost(2000000-800000-1000000)	200000

Preperation of Income Statement

Particulars	Scenario 1 Calculation	Scenario 1	Scenario 2 Calculation	Scenario 2
Sales Revenue		3200000	20001000(1.6*110%)	3520000
Less Variable Cost
Material Cost	800000		800000*120%	(960000)
Labour Cost	1000000			(1000000)
Other Variable Cost	200000	(2000000)		(200000)
Contribution		1200000		1330000
Less: Fixed Cost		(700000)		(700000)
Net Profit before tax		500000		660000
Less: Tax	500000*34%	(170000)	660000*34%	(224400)
Net Profit after Tax		330000		435600

a) Percentage Change in Net Profit

(435600-330000)/330000*100=32%

b) Determining Percentage Change in Break even Point

Particulars	Scenario1 calculation	Scenario 1	Scenario 2 calculation	Scenario 2
Fixed Cost		700000		700000
Contibution/unit	1200000/2000000kg	0.6	1330000/2000000kg	0.665
BEP in units	700000/0.6	1166667kg	700000/0.665	1052632kg
BEP in pound	1166667*1.6	1866667	1052632*1.76	1852632

% Change in BEP units			(1166667-1052632)/1166667*100	-9.77%
% Change in BEP pound			(1866667-1852632)/1866667*100	-0.75%

Fixed cost per unit in pound at new BEP

700000/1052632kg = 0.66 Pound per unit
