    Question

    From the following information calculate the amount of sales to earn a desired profit of Rs.6,000

    Fixed Cost: 12,000

    Selling Price: 12 per unit

    Variable cost: 9 per unit

    A 48,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 78,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 72,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sales in value to cover fixed cost and desired profit: Units * SPPU =6000*12 =72,000   Calculation of sales units to cover fixed cost and desired profit: FC + Desired Profit /Contribution per unit   (12000+6000)/3 = 6000 Units   Calculation of Contribution per unit: SPPU-VC =12-6 =3   Alternatively,   Calculate PV ratio first: CPU/SPPU*100 =3/12*100 =25%   Sales to cover fixed cost and desired profit: FC + Desired Profit/PV ratio = (12000+6000)/25% = 72000
