23 August 2009 A company produces a single product sells it at Rs 50 per unit. The variable cost per unit is Rs 35 and the fixed costs are Rs 12 lacs per annum. Please calculate:
(i) P/V ratio and break even sales
(ii) New breakeven if variable costs increase by Rs 3 per unit, without increase
in selling price.
(iii) Increase in sales required if profits are to be increased by Rs 240000
(iv) Quantum of advertising expenditure permissible to increase sales by Rs
120000 without affecting the existing profit quantum.
All the events are independent of each other.
