Consider the following sales revenue and total cost of a company for two periods.

| Sales revenue (Rs.) | Year I | Year II |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost (Rs.) | 200000 | 250000 |
| | 180000 | 210000 |

Required: Contribution margin ratio.

Calculate material price variance from the following information.

Actual quantity used: 12000 kg
Standard quantity: 14500kg
Standard price: Rs. 2 per kg
Actual price: Rs. 3 per kg

Answer :

Let's break down the calculations step by step for each requirement:

  1. Contribution Margin Ratio:

    Contribution Margin (CM) is calculated as Sales Revenue minus Total Cost.

    For Year I:

    • Sales Revenue = Rs. 200,000
    • Total Cost = Rs. 180,000

    Contribution Margin for Year I = Sales Revenue - Total Cost = Rs. 200,000 - Rs. 180,000 = Rs. 20,000

    Contribution Margin Ratio for Year I = (Contribution Margin / Sales Revenue) × 100 = (Rs. 20,000 / Rs. 200,000) × 100 = 10%

    For Year II:

    • Sales Revenue = Rs. 250,000
    • Total Cost = Rs. 210,000

    Contribution Margin for Year II = Sales Revenue - Total Cost = Rs. 250,000 - Rs. 210,000 = Rs. 40,000

    Contribution Margin Ratio for Year II = (Contribution Margin / Sales Revenue) × 100 = (Rs. 40,000 / Rs. 250,000) × 100 = 16%

  2. Material Price Variance:

    Material Price Variance (MPV) = (Actual Price - Standard Price) × Actual Quantity Used

    MPV = (Rs. 3 - Rs. 2) × 12,000 kg = Rs. 1 × 12,000 kg = Rs. 12,000 adverse

  3. Total Cost for 18,000 Units:

    Total cost consists of fixed and variable components. Variable cost is 45% of the total production cost for 12,000 units.

    Total cost for 12,000 units = Rs. 20,000

    Variable Cost (VC) = 45% of Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 9,000

    To find the variable cost per unit: VC per unit = Rs. 9,000 / 12,000 units = Rs. 0.75 per unit

    For 18,000 units, the variable cost will be: 18,000 units × Rs. 0.75 per unit = Rs. 13,500

    Fixed cost does not change with the level of production.

    Fixed Cost (FC) = Total Cost - Variable Cost = Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 9,000 = Rs. 11,000

    Therefore, Total Cost for 18,000 units = FC + Variable Cost for 18,000 units = Rs. 11,000 + Rs. 13,500 = Rs. 24,500

  4. Over/Under Absorption of Fixed Manufacturing Cost:

    Fixed costs are spread over the normal capacity. If actual production exceeds normal capacity, it can lead to over-absorption.

    Normal capacity = 5,000 units

    Fixed factory overhead = Rs. 40,000

    Fixed cost allocation per unit at normal capacity = Rs. 40,000 / 5,000 units = Rs. 8 per unit

    With actual production of 7,000 units, total absorbed overhead would be: 7,000 units × Rs. 8 per unit = Rs. 56,000

    Actual fixed factory overhead = Rs. 40,000

    Over absorption of fixed manufacturing costs = Rs. 56,000 - Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 16,000

    In summary, we have calculated the relevant financial variances and costs based on the given data.
