sales-variable cost= contribution
contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable costs) / Sales
It is the ratio generated by dividing the Variable cost over total Sales/Revenue
The contribution ratio is the relationship between total sales revenue and total variable costs. If the components change, such as an increase in sales revenue or a decrease in variable costs, the contribution ratio will increase. Conversely, if sales revenue decreases or variable costs increase, the contribution ratio will decrease.
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable cost ) / Sales
Formula for contribution margin ratio = Sales
The Profit Volume (PV) Ratio is the ratio of Contribution over Sales. It measures the Profitability of the firm and is one of the important ratios for computing profitabilty. The Contribution is the extra amount of sales over variable cost. Contribution is also Fixed cost plus profit. Profit = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost. Thus Contribution is: Profit + Fixed Cost = Sales - Variable Cost. Therefore PV Ratio = (Contribution/Sales)X100. (This as a percentage of sales)
Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost) / Sales
Breakeven point = Fixed cost / contribution margin ratio contribution margin ratio = sales - variable cost / sales.
Formula for contribution margin ratio = Sales – Variable cost / Sales
if sales revenue is provided instead of unit price then breakeven point can be determine by deducting variable costs from sales revenue and so on dividing fixed cost with contribution margin.
