Lisa Company is the exclusive distributor for an automative product. The product sells for Tk. 40 per unit and has a CM
ratio 30%. The company's fixed expenses are Tk. 180,000 per year.
Required:
i) What is the variable expenses per unit?
ii) Using the equation method:
1) What is the break-even point in units and sales taka?
2) What sales level in units and in sales taka is required to earn an annual profit of Tk. 60,000?
3) Assume that by using a more efficient shipper, the company is able to reduce its variable expenses by Tk. 4 per unit.
What is the Company's new break-even point in units and sales taka?
iii) Repeat (ii) using the unit contribution method.
Solution
Answer (i)
We Know,
We have,
p = 40, v = 28 and FC = 180,000
40x = 28x + 180,000
=> 40x − 28x = 180,000
=> 12x = 180,000
So, Break-even in Units = x = 15,000 units
Break-even Point in Sales Taka = 40 × 15,000 = 600,000 Taka.
We have,
40x = 28x + 180,000 + 60,000
=> 40x − 28x = 240,000
=> 12x = 240,000
So, Break-even in Units = x = 20,000 units
Break-even Point in Sales Taka = 40 × 20,000 = 800,000 Taka.
If VC reduces by Tk. 4,
We have,
p = 40, v = 28-4 = 24 and FC = 180,000
40x = 24x + 180,000
=> 40x − 24x = 180,000
=> 16x = 180,000
So, Break-even in Units = x = 11,250 units
Break-even Point in Sales Taka = 40 × 11,250 = 450,000 Taka.
Answer (iii) : Unit Contribution Method
BEP in Units
= Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin par Unit
= Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - VC par Unit)
= 180,000/ (40 - 28)
= 180,000/12
= 15,000 Units.
BEP in Taka
= Fixed Costs / CM Ratio
= 180,000/ 0.30
= 600,000 Taka.
BEP in Units
= Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin par Unit
= Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - VC par Unit)
= 180,000/ [(40 - (28 - 4)]
= 180,000/16
= 11,250 Units.
New CM Ratio
= (Selling Price - VC per Unit) / Selling Price
= (40 - 24) / 40 = 0.40
BEP in Taka
= Fixed Costs / CM Ratio
= 180,000/ 0.40
= 450,000 Taka.

Note:
Purchase of Raw Materials = Purchase + Freight In - Purchase Return - Purchase Discount = =400000+12000-
3200-20000 = 388800
Manufacturing Overhead = Factory Depreciation + Factory Insurance + Other Factory Expenses =

(ii) BEP :
In units = 180,000 / (40 - 28) = 15,000 units
In sales = 180,000 / 30% = Tk. 600,000
(iv) BEP :
In units = 180,000 / (40 - 24) = 11,250 units
New CM ratio = 16 / 40 = 40%
In sales = 180,000 / 40% = Tk. 450,000

Comment: The invested money is expected to be returned within 3 years 7 months 19 days and the project has a positive
NPV for the entire life which results in PI more than 1. So, the project can be taken up.

The company is advised to go for leasing as PV of cashflows under leasing alternative (514,165) is lower than that under
buying alternative (589,984).
