Here's an example - If a company knows that a product costs a certain amount (wholesale) that's a fixed cost. Now, they usually mark up that price three times before they sell it to you. Their fixed cost ratio is 1/3. If they mark it up five times the cost, their ratio is 1/5.

What is V ratio?

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)


What is p v ratio?

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)

What is the breakeven of a fixed cost equal 300000 the price per unit equals 10 and the variable cost per unit equals 7?

Fixed cost = 300000 Contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable cost) / sales Contribution margin ratio = (10 - 7 ) / 10 Contribution margin ratio = .3 breakeven point = 300000 / .3 = 1000000


If unit sales are 12 variable costs are 7.20 per unit and fixed costs are 24000 what is the contribution ratio per unit?

The contribution ratio of units is calculated as the unit sales minus the sales cost, then divided by the unit sales. In this case, the ratio is 40 percent. Contribution Ratio does not care about the fixed cost whatsoever.
