    The company was producing only 10,000 units, since the demand was only 10,000 units.

    However, the company has the capacity to produce another 1,000 units without any additional

    fixed overheads. One of the distributors offered that he would take 1,000 units in addition to his

    normal quota, but at a selling price of Rs. 320 per unit. He was also prepared to accept only half

    of his regular commission for this transaction.

    Determination of selling price

    Q.5 A manufacturing company has an installed capacity of 1,50,000 units per annum. Its cost

    structure is given below:

    (Per unit) Rs.

    Variable costs 10

    Labour (Minimum Rs. 1,00,000 per month) 10

    Overheads 4

    Fixed overheads: Rs. 1,92,300 per annum

    Semi-variable overheads Rs. 60,000 per annum at 75% capacity, which increases by Rs. 4,000

    per annum for every 5% increase in capacity utilization for the year as a whole.

    The capacity utilization for the next year is estimated at 75% for three months, 80% for six

    months and 90% for the remaining part of the year. If the company is planning to have a profit of

    20% on the selling price, calculate the selling price per unit?

    of a certain product which earns a contribution of Rs. 200 per hour to firm.

    The firm has received an order, which will require the services of the technician for 25 hours. If

    the material and other processing costs amount to Rs. 11,250 and mark up 20% on cost, what

    price should be quoted for the new order?

  • CVP Analysis

    Q.7 A company has developed a new product. The sales volume of the new product was

    estimated to be between 15,000 and 20,000 units per month at a price of Rs. 20 per unit.

    Alternatively, if the selling price is reduced to Rs. 18 per unit, the sales volume will be between

    24,000 and 36,000 units per month. If the production is maintained below 20,000 units per

    month, the variable manufacturing cost will be Rs. 16.50 per unit and the fixed costs Rs. 48,500

    per month. If the production exceeds 20,000 units per month, the variable manufacturing cost

    will be reduced to Rs. 15.50 per unit, but the fixed costs will increase to Rs. 64,500 per month.

    The company paid Rs. 40,000 as fee for market survey and in addition incurred a cost of Rs.

    60,000 in developing the new product.

    In the event of taking up this new line of business, it will be necessary to use the building space,

    which has been let out for a rental of Rs. 5,600 per month.

    You are required to analyze the Potential Profitability of the proposal of the company at different

    levels of output and make suitable recommendations relating to the price and volume of output to

    Owing to adverse trading conditions, the company has been operating during July/

    September 2008 at 40% capacity, realizing budgeted selling prices.

    Owing to acute competition, it has become inevitable to reduce prices by 25% even to

    maintain the sales at the existing levels. The directors are considering whether or not their

    factory should be closed down until the trade recession has passed. A market research consultant

    has advised that in about a years time there is every indication that sales will increase to 75% of normal capacity and that the revenue to be produced for a full year at that volume could be

    expected to be Rs. 40 lakh.

    If the directors decide to close down the factory for a year it is estimated that:

    a. The present fixed costs would be reduced to Rs. 6 lakh per annum.

    b. Closing down costs (redundancy payment, etc.) would amount to Rs. 2 lakh.

    c. Necessary maintenance of plant would cost Rs. 50,000 per annum; and

    d. On re-opening the factory, the cost of overhauling the plant, training and engagement of new

    personnel would amount to Rs. 80,000.

    Give your recommendations.

    Exploring new markets

    Q.9 A company annually manufactures 10,000 units of a product at a cost of Rs. 4 per unit and

    there is home market for consuming the entire volume of production at the sale price of Rs. 4.25

    per unit. In the year 2007, there is a fall in the demand for home market, which can consume

    10,000 units only at a sale price of Rs. 3.72 per unit. The analysis of the cost per 10,000 units is:

    Materials Rs. 15,000

    Wages 11,000

    Fixed overheads 8,000

    Variable overheads 6,000

    The foreign market is explored and it is found that this market can consume 20,000 units of the

    product if offered at a sale price of Rs. 3.55 per unit. It is also discovered that for additional

    10,000 units of the product (over initial 10,000 units) that fixed overheads will increase by 10 per

    cent. Is it worthwhile to try to capture the foreign market?

  • (a) Improvement in the quality of the product, which will result in an additional sale of 5,000

    units at the existing price. However, this improvement in quality will result in increase in the

    variable cost by 10 paise per unit.

    (b) Reduction in the selling price of the product by 12 paise per unit. This will push up sales by

    5,000 units.

    In both cases, the fixed expenses will increase by Rs. 1,000.

    The present sales of the firm are 10,000 units at the rate of Rs. 2.10 per unit. The variable cost is

    Rs. 1.60 per unit and the total fixed costs are Rs. 3,000.

    You are required to state whether it will appropriate for the firm to select any of the new

    proposals or should it continue with the existing scheme.

    campaign to explore new market.

    Or

    (ii) Sales can be increased to 12 lakh units subject to the following:

    By an overall reduction of Rs. 10 per unit in selling price on all the units sold.

    By increasing the variable selling and administration expenses by 8%.

    The direct material costs would go down by 1.5% due to discount on bulk purchasing.

    Requirements:

    I. Construct a Flexible Budget at the level of 6 lakhs, 10 lakhs and 12 lakhs unit of production.

    II. Calculate Break Even Point before and after expansion.

    III. Advise the optimum level of output for expansion.
