Topic: CVP Analysis


Problem 1: Overlook Inn is a small bed and breakfast inn located in the Great smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
The charge is Rs. 50 per person for one nights lodging and a full breakfast in the morning. The retired couple who
own and manage the inn estimate that the variable expense per person is Rs. 20. This includes such expenses as
food, maid service and utilities. The inn’s fixed expenses total Rs. 42000 per year. The inn can accommodate 10
guests each night.

Required: 1. Contribution margin per unit of service

2. Break even point in Rs. and units

3. The number of units required to earn a target profit of Rs. 60,000 for the year.

Solution: Contribution = Sales – Variable Cost

= 50-20

= 30

Break even point (in units) = Fixed Cost/ Contribution

= 42000/30

= 1400

Break Even Point (in Rs.) = (Fixed Cost/ Contribution) * Sales

= 1400* 50

= 70000

Number of units required to earn targeted profit = (Fixed Expenses + target profit) /Contribution

= (42000+60000)/30

= 3400

Problem 2:

ABC Ltd. manufactures and sells compact discs. Price and cost data are as follows:

Selling price per unit (package of two CDs) Rs. 25

Variable Costs per unit:

Direct Material Rs. 10.5

Direct Labour Rs. 5

Manufacturing overheads Rs. 3

Selling overheads Rs. 1.3

Total Variable costs per unit Rs. 19.8

Annual fixed costs:

Manufacturing overheads Rs. 192000

Selling and Administrative overheads Rs. 276000

Total Fixed Costs Rs. 468000


Forecasted annual sales volume (120,000 units) Rs. 3000000

Required: 1. What is ABC’s BEP in units?

2. What is ABC’s BEP in sales Rs.?

3. How many units would ABC have to sell in order to earn Rs.260,000?

4. What is the firm’s MOS?

5. Management estimates that the direct labour costs will increase by 8% next year. How many units
will the company have to sell next year to reach its break- even point?

6. What is the P/V Ratio of the firm?

Solution: 1. BEP (in units) = Fixed Cost/ Contribution

= 468000/ (25-19.8)

= 90,000 units

2. BEP (in sales) = (Fixed Cost/ Contribution) * Sales

= 90,000*25

= Rs. 2250000

3. Number of units required to earn targeted profit = (Fixed Expenses + target profit) /Contribution

= (468000+260000)/5.2

= 140,000 units

4. MOS (in units) = Actual sales- BEP sales

= 120,000-90,000

= 30,000 units

MOS (in sales) = Actual sales – BEP sales

= 3000000-2250000

= 750000

5. If direct labour increases by 8%, it will become Rs. 5.4 (5+ (8% of Rs. 5)).

Therefore, the new variable cost will be Rs. 20.2 (10.5+5.4+3+1.3)

Now, new contribution = 25-20.2

= 4.8

Therefore no. of units needed to sell to attain BEP = (Fixed Cost + BEP Sales)/ Contribution

= (468000+2250000)/4.8

= 566250 units

6. P/V Ratio (before increase in DL Cost) = (Contribution/ Sales) *100


= (5.2/25) *100

= 20.8%

P/V Ratio (after increase in DL Cost) = (New Contribution/ Sales) *100

= (4.8/25) *100

= 19.2%
Topic: Activity Based Costing
Problem 1: MK Ltd. manufactures four products, namely A, B, C and D using the same plant and process. The
following information relates to a production period:

Product A B C D
Output in units 720 600 480 504

The four products are similar and are usually produced in production runs of 24 units and sold in batches of 12
units. The total overheads incurred by the company for the period are as follows:

Rs.
Machine operation and maintenance cost 63000
Setup costs 20000
Store receiving 15000
Inspection 10000
Material handling and dispatch 2592

During the period the following cost drivers are to be used for the overhead cost:

Cost Cost driver


Setup Receiving No. of production runs
Store receiving Requisition raised
Inspection No. of production runs
Material handling and dispatch Orders executed

It is also determined that:

• Machine operation and maintenance cost should be apportioned between setup cost, store receiving and
inspection activity in the ratio 4:3:2.

• Number of requisitions raised on store is 50 for each product and the no. of orders executed is 192, each order
being for a batch of 12 units of a product.

Calculate the total overhead cost per unit of each product using activity-based costing after finding activity wise
overheads allocated to each product.

Solution:

4:3:2, i.e. Rs. 28,000, Rs. 21,000 and Rs. 14,000

Number of Production Runs and Number of Batches are computed as under:

Problem 2: A company manufactures several products of varying design and models. It uses a single overhead
recovery rate based on direct labour hours. The overheads incurred by the Company in the first half of the year
are as under:

Machine Operation Expenses 2025000


Machine Maintenance 375000
Salaries to Technical Staffs 1275000
Wages and Salaries of store staff 525000
During this period, the company introduced activity-based costing system and the following significant were
activities were identified:

• Receiving materials and components

• Set up of machines for production runs

• Quality inspection

It is also determined that:

• The machine operation and machine maintenance expenses should be apportioned between store and
production activity in 1:4 ratio.
• The technical staff salaries should be apportioned between machine maintenance, set up and quality
inspection in 3:4:4 ratio.

The consumption of activates during the period under review are as under:

Direct labour hours worked 80,000

Production set-ups 4,080

Material and components consignments received from suppliers 3,920

Number of quality inspection carried out 2,560

The direct wages rate is Rs. 12 per hour.

A potential customer has approached the company for the supply of 24,000 units of a component ‘R’ to be
delivered in lots of 3000 units per quarter. The job will involve an initial design cost of Rs. 60,000 and the
manufacture will involve the following per quarter.

Direct materials 12000


Direct labour 300
Direct Material Consignment received 20

You are required to:

1. Calculate the cost of products P and Q based on the existing system of single overheads Recovery rate.

2. Determine the most of products P & Q using Activity Based Costing system.

3. Compute the sales values per quarter of components ‘R’ using Activity Based Costing system (considering a
mark-up of 25% on cost)

2.If Fruitolay allocates store support costs (all costs other than the cost of goods sold) to the product lines on the
basis of ABC system, calculate the operating income and operating income as the percentage of revenue of each
product line.

3.Compare both the system.

Summary/Comparison

Particulars Lemon Grapes Papaya Total

Under Traditional Costing System 1.70% 7.17% 3.30% 4.97%

Under ABC System 10.78% 0.60% 8.75% 4.97%

The grapes line drops sizably when ABC is used. Although it constitutes 50% COGS, it uses a higher percentage of
total resources in each activity area, especially the high cost of customer support area. In contrast, lemon line
draws a much lower percentage of total resources used in each activity area than its percentages of total COGS.
Hence under ABC, Lemon is most profitable. Fruitolay can explore ways to increase sales of lemons and also
explore price increases on grapes.

Operating Income Ranking is highest for Grapes under Traditional system because other products bear its
overheads cost, whereas under ABC a more accurate picture shows Grapes as the lowest ranking product.

Topic: Budget and Budgetary Control


Problem 1: A factory engaged in manufacturing plastic buckets is working at 40% capacity and produces 10,000
buckets per month. The present cost break - up for one bucket is as under:

Material Rs. 10
Labour Rs. 03
Overheads Rs. 5 (60% fixed)
The selling price is Rs.20 per bucket. If it is desired to work the factory at 50% capacity the selling price falls by
3%. At 90% capacity the selling price falls by 5% accompanied by a similar fall in the price of material.

You are required to prepare a statement the profit at 50% and 90% capacities and also calculate the break‐ even
points at this capacity production.
