22 January 2010can anyone tell me what is the concept/reason behind the formulae :
Margin of safety=Profit/ pv ratio
P/v ratio is contribution in terms of %age on sales.
Contribution on MOS is nothing but profit.
so when we calculate P/V on MOS we will get contribution on MOS i.e profit.
the original formula is Profit = MOS*P/V ratio
From that we can change this formula in different manner.
Request to other members eplore it if possible

Total Sales have to parts :
1. BEP Sales (e.g. 60%)
2. Margin of Safety Sales (e.g. 100-60=40%)
From BEP Sales, there will b NO PROFIT...
PROFIT will be from MOS SALES....
P/V RATIO represents the profit earning capacity..
So we can formulaise it as below :
PROFIT = MOS Sales * P/V Ratio
or
MOS Sales = PROFIT divided by P/V Ratio
